The five countries with the highest female status and the five countries with the lowest status are no more than not knowing, than being frightened.
The third edition of the Global Women's Security Index shows that "the status gap between women in the world is widening". Simply put, countries with high women's status are getting higher and higher, and countries with low women's status are getting lower and lower.
At the end of last year, the United Nations surveyed 220,000 women in 170 countries and regions to obtain indicators of justice, welfare, employment, salary, security and domestic violence, discrimination and so on in their countries, pointing out that the five countries with the highest status of women were Norway, Finland, Iceland, Denmark and Luxembourg, and the lowest five countries were Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Pakistan and Iraq.
In Norway, which ranks first, it is stipulated that enterprises recruiting only men will be fined 2 million, women will work no more than 35 hours a week, maternity leave for 9 weeks of full pay, parental leave for 47 weeks of full pay, etc.;

The fourth Denmark, derided as a "matriarchal society", has only two male shelters in the world, dedicated to hosting men who have been beaten, abused and abused;
The fifth place in Luxembourg changed the most, early women were not allowed to participate in politics and did not have the right to vote, into today's domestic violence women, workplace harassment, salary differences, etc., will be punished with huge fines and up to 15 years in prison.
Afghanistan, the lowest-ranking country, ranked first, with 50 per cent of women under the age of marriage under 18 years of age, more than 25 per cent under the age of 16 and 15 per cent under the age of 15; Women are forbidden to drive, they must cover their bodies when they go out, they must not wear jewelry, they cannot spray perfume, they cannot talk to men, the literacy rate is only 24.2%, divorce requires the consent of the husband to apply, and so on.
In syria, 23% of women have been beaten three times in the past 12 months, 3.3% have been subjected to domestic violence at least once a week, and less than 30% of women over the age of 25 have undergone lower secondary education;
In the third Yemen, where a woman was not allowed to return home during menstruation, the court stipulated that "the weight of the testimony of two Yemeni women is equal to that of a Yemeni man" and that "the court does not accept the testimony of female witnesses"; and the Ministry of Labour of Yemen stipulated that "private enterprises are preferential to recruit men or 2 men and 1 woman", etc.;
Fourth place In Pakistan, gender discrimination, employment, treatment, medical treatment, etc. are common, 60% of rape cases against women and 70% of "honour killings" cases have not yet been resolved, and the failure to pay enough dowry will affect the status after marriage, etc.;
In iraq, in fifth place, the literacy rate for women is only 25 per cent, for women who have completed high school is only 5 per cent, the employment rate is perennially below 10 per cent and the salary is only 60 per cent of that of men.
