08 Aug Here Are The 10 Best Countries In The World To Live In If You’re A Woman

Women are more disadvantaged across the world, there’s no argument about that. Whether it is the amount they get paid or the lack of opportunities that are readily available to them, there’s no doubt that women have it harder than men.

However, some countries, such as the ones below, are getting it right when it comes to being a woman in their society, and should be seen as an inspiration to those that are lagging behind. Take a look at the list below and get ready to pack your suitcase.

10. New Zealand

New Zealand is a safe and peaceful country, and is a great location for both genders. The country is a leader when it comes to peacekeeping and global security, and since 1980, New Zealand has been a nuclear-free zone.

9. Austria

Due to it’s high-income democracy, Austria boats the highest standards of living for both women and men, making it a great place for women to be successful. Austria also has high rankings in entrepreneurship, citizenship and heritage, making it one of the best places to live in the world.

8. Australia

Not just content with having some of the best weather around, Australia is also a great place to be a woman. Both men and women show a high participation in sport, and probably due to their healthy lifestyle, Australian citizens also have a high life expectancy.

7. Switzerland

Voted as the best country to live in the world in 2017, Switzerland has long been associated with promoting diversity and women’s rights. However, bizarrely, the country didn’t allow women to vote at the federal level until 1971.

6. Finland

Finland is a bit of a women’s rights haven. They were the first country to give women the right to vote and to legalise suffrage. However, not done there, Finland also founded the International Gender Equality Prize, and as of this year, all 9th-grade students will receive a free translated copy of “We Should All Be Feminists”.

5. Canada

Canada has made protecting women’s rights a part of its domestic and foreign policy and actively promote women’s rights across the country.
