The five best countries for women
The five
best countries for women
From walking
on the streets to job promotion, women in different countries are
facing big and small problems and challenges in life.
However,
while in one country women are deprived of their basic rights, in
another country those politicians are ahead of men.
One of the
world's coldest regions is leading the way in ending discrimination against
women.
As we move
north in Europe and into frozen polar waters, women's personal and
social lives are found to be better and more comfortable.
More jobs,
high standard of education and health facilities and of course gender political
structure are the characteristics of these countries.
Five countries
in the Nordic/Scandinavian region are among the world's best countries
to live in for women.
5. Sweden
Sweden has
long been a champion of women's rights and has enacted laws against gender
discrimination.
Since 2018
the Swedish Gender Equality Agency is responsible for ensuring the elimination
of gender bias in all sectors.
4. Denmark
Danish women
won the right to vote in Denmark in 1915, and the country is known for its
egalitarian society, which allows both men and women to succeed despite their
differences.
3.
Finland
Finland was
the first country in Europe to give women the right to vote in 1906, and there
are many women in prominent positions across the country.
Life
expectancy for women in Finland is 84.62 years while for men it is 79.03 years.
Apart from
this, the current Prime Minister of Finland is also a woman who assumed office
at the age of 34.
2. Norway
The first
wave of feminism began in Norway in the 1840s, and since then there have been
many waves that have secured women's rights in this Scandinavian country.
The first
law in the country to legalize abortion was passed in 1964, and the Free Access
to Abortion Act was passed in 1978.
1.
Iceland
Iceland tops
the list of the 23 best countries in the world for a woman's life.
The Nordic
country employs more than 88 percent of its working-age women, while 65 percent
of its student population is also female.
In September
2021, there were 47.6 percent female representatives in the country's
parliament.
In fact, the
country has come very close to being the first European country in history to
have a majority female parliament.
42 years ago
in 1980, Iceland became the first country in the world to have a female
president.
