Afghanistan most dangerous for women



                Afghanistan is the most dangerous country for women, an international poll of experts on gender issues says, reports BBC.

             High levels of violence, poor healthcare and poverty make
Afghanistan the worst place for women, the study by the Thomson-Reuters Foundation says.

            The survey places the Democratic Republic of Congo and
Pakistan in second and third positions. India is rated the fourth most dangerous country due to high levels of female foeticide and sex trafficking. .
