10 Women Friendly Cities In The World

It is rare to find a women-friendly city in this male dominated world. But women still do have their safe havens. Certain cities are perceived as women-friendly or rather safest cities for women. A city is women-friendly only if it gives a woman the freedom to travel late at night and wear whatever she wants to. In the safest cities of the world, women do not have to alter their dressing sense or work timings in order to be safe.

As it is Women's Day, let us take a look at the most women-friendly cities in the world. Most of these cities are European. You would be surprised to know that there is not a single Indian city that can be called women-friendly. Nor will you find a single American name in this list of the safest cities for women.

So if you want to enjoy some exotic travel on Women's Day, these are the women-friendly cities that should be on your mind. These cities are good for women who are travelling alone too.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Denmark is one of the safest countries in the world. And Copenhagen is a quite little European town where women can roam free and be safe at any hour.

Amsterdam, Holland

A city were people can smoke weed on the streets can hardly be called unsafe. There is a lot of debate on the fact that because prostitution is legal in Amsterdam, it has increased the safety of women substantially.

Stockholm, Sweden

Stockholm is a city that is women-friendly as far as employment is concerned. The state of Sweden gives the longest maternity leaves and has the best HR policies for women.

Zurich, Switzerland

Zurich is an open city for everyone. As Switzerland is a country that has historically been peaceful, Zurich is thus a free city for everyone including women.

Vienna, Austria

Remember the streets of Vienna from the movie 'Before Sunrise'? If a young couple can walk around the streets of Vienna all night, then it must be a safe city.

Singapore

Singapore is a city that has some of the most stringent rules for safety. This ensures that women remain safe on the streets.

Seoul, South Korea

Seoul is a very professional city. Women remain safe while working and even in the night clubs of Seoul.

Munich, Germany

Munich is a great place for women to work. The public transport is effective and extremely safe.

Tokyo, Japan

Tokya is one of the busiest and most expensive cities in the world. Women work with mercurial efficiency in this city and are considered quite safe.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Dubai is the safest city in the Gulf for women. Unlike other Gulf countries, we don't have to dress modestly in Dubai.
