A city is said to be safe for a woman, if she can travel at any time, do what she want to do or wear what she feel comfortable in. But the condition is such that even a female child is not safe to live without boundaries and restrictions. Even in metro cities that are ranked higher among best livable cities in India, women feel unsafe and do not wish to travel there.

A new survey by TrustLaw, a legal news service of the Thomson Reuters Foundation, ranked India among the top five countries in the world that are considered as 'most dangerous places' for women because of health threats, sexual violence, non-sexual violence, cultural or religious factors, lack of access to resources and trafficking. Google Trends, reported that India is one of seven countries that most frequently type the word "sex." In an article of International Herald Tribune, India was ranked the worst place to be a woman.

All cities have its own pros and cons, but a bad minority can bring the title of ‘being notorious' to the city and it will be highlighted over anything else. India has to go a long way for a woman to sigh ‘wow..Incredible India'. Since personal safety has become an issue of importance for women, these are some places in India women don't want to visit.. What actions do you think authorities should take to make these least preferable cities for a visit, the most demanded destinations?

Delhi

Delhi has earned the distinction of being the most unsafe place for women in India. The recent incident of gang rape gave Delhi a new title, ‘rape capital'. According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), the capital reported 23.8 percent of total rape cases.

Kolkata

Kolkata is out from choice for women due to eve- teasing, assaults, rape and the number of crimes against women. West Bengal is noted to have more crimes against women.

Bangalore

The Electronic city of India has become the crime capital of the South India. Drugs and rapes make this city unsafe for working in night shifts. That is why, many women often do not wish to visit this place in India.

Gurgaon

Rape cases and crime rates makes Gurgaon (the second largest city in Haryana), one of the unsafe places women would not like to visit. Working women are at risk of rape, molestation, abduction and crimes especially at night.

Mumbai

According to government statistics, 10.8 per cent of rape cases took place in Mumbai. The financial capital of India is supposed to be a safe place if the arguments for making prostitution legal will work.

Madhya Pradesh

Madhya Pradesh has also emerged as a city that cannot assure safety for women as per FSI survey. When safety is the prime consideration, Madhya Pradesh is a place which most women do not like to visit.

Hyderabad

Hyderabad reported 157 cases of molestation in 2011 which forced women to avoid this place in India. Number of rape cases has also increased in this so called well-developed city.

Pune

Pune, which is the second largest city in Maharashtra is out of women's choice. Most difficult experience in Pune is reported to be from transport system including public buses.

Uttar Pradesh

Uttar Pradesh reported the highest incidence of violent crimes accounting for 11.9 per cent. This makes safety of women more doubtful as they can be attacked for any or even no reasons.
