rape rate by country.....

# 1 United States: 95,136
# 2 South Africa: 52,425
# 3 Canada: 24,350
# 4 Australia: 15,630
# 5 India: 15,468
# 6 Mexico: 14,373
# 7 United Kingdom: 13,395
# 8 Germany: 8,615
# 9 France: 8,458
# 10 Russia: 6,978

now u can calculate that which country is not safe for woman.....

I find it particularly distasteful when such comparisons are sought to be drawn as if the fact that there are 4 countries above us in the list makes us somehow superior. In a country like ours the reporting of such crimes is usually much lower than in western countries because of the social stigma attached to it. I would not be surprised if the figure in actual was more than the one for the U.S. In any case, regardless of the position we occupy on any such list, there is nothing to be smug about.

u said"country like ours the reporting of such crimes is usually much lower than in western countries because of the social stigma attached to it" OK now just assume that 50000 rape cases not registered in india which is just triple of registered cases.now the actual figure would be approx. 65000.Also consider the population of both countries India and U.S.

INDIA - population 1180 million and 65000 rape/year
America-population 300 million and 95000 rape/year

so which country is safest among both country...

[DelhiDareDevil]

I saw plenty of Western womens when I went to Delhi, and they were a lot of westerns for the Commonwealth Games too.

 

[jdme]

From what I have heard, no. India needs a cultural revolution.

 

[IndoCarib]

Arent' rape related threads banned ? Are the rules relaxed for SOCOM ?

One school of thought says that the women are so repressed in most Muslim countries that they cant even fathom the concept of rape and hence no or very little rapes are reported...

Ahh I see what you're trying to say now, but reporting of rape is a problem in all countries. Due the psychological trauma of such an event, many women think it their own fault or are ashamed to admit being raped.

That list is dominated by supposedly "civilised" countries.

These civilized countries also happen to have better policing and judiciary.

Women are more likely to report rape in those countries than Asian countries, where a woman being rape carries a lot of social stigma and in some countries, it's even considered the woman's fault

In SA, many girls who are sexually assaulted by the male members of her family are advised even by their mothers to keep the mouth shut so as to save their family name from disrepute.

I don't care about Western women when for our own women our country is the 4th worst place on this planet.

India: 4th worst place in the world for women to live « Mother India

Ironic considering we worship goddesses here.
