Where Do Women Feel the Safest?

When women in 143 countries were asked whether they would feel safe walking alone at night in the area where they live, Gallup found big differences in feelings of security.

At the top of the list, 90 percent of women (and 93 percent of men) in the nation of Georgia say they would feel safe walking alone at night. At the bottom of the list, only 21 percent of women (and 36 percent of men) in Afghanistan feel safe. In the United States, 62 percent of women (and 89 percent of men) feel safe walking alone at night.
