a new survey of experts shows.

finding India to be the most dangerous nation for sexual violence
against women, as well as human trafficking for domestic work,
forced labor, forced marriage and sexual slavery, among other reasons.

India is also the most dangerous country in the world for cultural traditions
that impact women, the survey found, citing acid attacks,
female genital mutilation, child marriage and physical abuse.
India was the fourth most dangerous country for women in the same survey
seven years ago.
調查發現,就文化傳統對女性的影響而言,
諸如潑酸攻擊、女性割禮、童婚及身體虐待等,印度也是世界上最危險的國家。

Afghanistan and Syria ranked second and third, followed by Somalia,
Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Yemen and Nigeria.
The only western nation in the top 10 was the US.
This was directly related to the #MeToo movement.
阿富汗及敘利亞分居2、3名,
