Recently, CEOWorld Magazine<\/a> did a survey to showcase the best countries for women. Let\u2019s be honest, no country in the world can guarantee that they are 100% safe in safeguarding the rights of women. The results of the magazine’s rankings were surprising \u2013 for one thing, Saudi Arabia was judged as the best Arab country for women!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yes, you\u2019ve heard that right, Saudi Arabia is the best Arab country for women, even better than the UAE.<\/p>\n

What about Pakistan?<\/h3>\n

However, Pakistan’s ranking in a list of 156 countries should give us some food for thought.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia is ranked 91st. India, with all their societal issues of rape and discrimination against women, are ranked 49th. It would seem that Pakistan would rank either higher than India or at least somewhere below in the 50s.<\/p>\n

But as the results show, it is nowhere closer to those rankings. Pakistan sits at the 145th position.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pakistan is ranked 145th in a list of 156 countries. We are somewhere between Uganda and Ethiopia. If everyone\u2019s wondering which country topped the list, it\u2019s Sweden.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is indeed curious as to how Pakistan has been ranked so low in the spectrum? Maybe this is due to all the horrific cases of rape and torture against women that we choose to ignore or the lack of initiative to help empower women?<\/p>\n

Either that or this is just another case of Western discrimination against Pakistan. Because let\u2019s face it, Saudi Arabia, a country that just started allowing women to drive cars, is ranked higher than a country that once had a female Prime Minister,<\/p>\n
