Denmark is at the top of the list and it did not get this position without reason. Here, women’s safety is not only in the presence of police or in the hands of cameras, but in every frame of policies that gives them more opportunities than fear.

From politics to education to corporate decisions, women’s leadership is considered normal here, not special. The very low figures of gender-based crimes prove that the laws here are not only written, they are also strictly enforced.

Iceland, which is at number two, is among the safest countries in the world for women. The society here places maximum emphasis on making women financially self-reliant.

Women’s participation in jobs here is not just a story of high figures, but is an integral part of the work culture of the country. Strong legal protections against domestic violence and discrimination make it a kind of protected island for women.

Norway and Sweden are jointly in third place. The social awareness regarding equal rights is so deep in both the countries that the question of women’s safety rarely becomes a political issue here.

The significant representation of women in politics, judiciary and administration further strengthens the image of these countries. The justice system here is swift, and the security arrangements are so systematic that the criminal knows that it is almost impossible to escape.

Finland at fifth place is considered a symbol of high security and respect for women. From Parliament to Cabinet, women’s participation does not surprise anyone. Education and health facilities are so efficient that women’s autonomy is not just a thought but a part of practical life. Security in public places is so strong that even traveling alone late at night is normal here.
