CAUTION! Most Dangerous Holiday Destinations for Solo Women

Hurray, Nigeria didn't make the list!!! Just as we have the most safest place to visit in the World, there is also a list of countries you have to be very careful when you visit especially to ladies who travel alone. The list was compiled by Mailonline Explorer Liz Borod Wright  and it is to advise women who travel solo. According to the list the most dangerous places to travel to as a woman in Africa are South Africa, Egypt, Morroco and Kenya.

She continue that, 'Be wary of posting real-time updates on social media about where are you in case someone is paying a little too close attention. It's safer to post that awesome photo to Instagram when you're on to the next destination, especially if you plan to geo-tag it. 'And while the instinct is to live-tweet your trip, it may be best to rave (or rant) about your accommodations after you have checked out.'

Another advice came from Intrepid traveller and blogger Amanda Williams  who says:

'I would say to women just be smart and listen to your gut. Don't do anything you wouldn't do at home - don't drink too much alone, don't go wandering alone at night, don't go home with strangers, and read up on common scams.'

List below

1) India

Gang rapes of local women and tourists have reached worrying levels in parts of the country with reports suggesting that a sexual assault is reported every twenty minutes.

Earlier this month a Japanese student was drugged and raped in northern India, and last week horrifying video footage of two woman being gang raped by grinning men was released by a campaign group in a bid to name and shame the attackers.

2) Brazil

According to the Brazilian Health Ministry, rape increased by 157 per cent between 2009 and 2012, spurred the country's machismo culture. 

Two years ago, an American tourist was gang raped on a public bus while her handcuffed boyfriend looked on helplessly.

3) Turkey

Istanbul is less than a four-hour flight from London, but it is poles apart when it comes to attitudes towards woman.

The attempted rape and subsequent murder of 20-year-old student Ozgecan Aslan last week thrust the thorny issue of gender-based violence directly into the headlines.

The horrific crime sparked dozens of protests by women seeking to raise awareness of violence against women, which is still a taboo subject in Turkey.

4) Thailand

Millions of tourists flock to Thailand every year, but the brutal murder of British backpackers David Miller and Hannah Witheridge, who was also raped, in Koh Tao last September lifted the lid on the country's seedy, and often violent, underbelly.

In 2013, Thai police threatened to arrest a 20-year-old female Scottish student who had been gang raped when no witnesses came forward to support her claim.

5) Egypt

In the aftermath of the 2011 revolution the country has been gripped by instability and an unprecedented wave of sexual violence against women.

With fewer police on the streets, a sharp increase in the number of sex attacks - including a British journalism student in Cairo's Tahrir Square.

6) Colombia

Though the country is undoubtedly far safer than it was even 10 years ago, sexual violence against women remains widespread, particularly against displaced women in poorer areas.

Colombia's capital Bogota, which has no train system but a network of red buses, was found to have the most unsafe public transport in a poll conducted by YouGov in 2014 .

7) South Africa 

Despite its continuing popularity, it remains one of the most dangerous countries in the world.

The African nation has one of the highest rates of rape and sexual assault, and robberies at gunpoint are commonplace.

More than 66,000 sexual offenses were reported in 2012-2013, a rate of 127 sexual offenses per 100,000 population.

8) Morocco

Morocco has a poor record when it comes to women's rights.

Female travellers are advised to dress modestly and cover up in the conservative Muslim country.

Although the Foreign Office advises that violent crime isn't currently major issue, it's common for female tourists, particularly those travelling on their own, to be routinely harassed by men.

9) Mexico

Although millions of Americans - including high-profile celebrities - travel safely to Mexico every year, parts of the country remain in the grip of utter lawlessness,reports of gun crime and violence still persist.

According to the Foreign Office, violent rapes against women travelling on public transport ('micros') is also a significant threat.

10) Kenya 

Kenya has built a thriving tourist trade on the back of its incredible wildlife and safari parks. What is less well-know, however, is its reputation for violence against women.

According to a report from United Nations Development Fund for Women, 'women of all ages, education levels, and social groups, in rural and urban settings are subjected to violence in Kenya.'

In 2010, a national survey indicated that 32 per cent of girls experienced sexual violence before becoming adults, and in November last year, a sex attack on a young woman wearing a short skirt provoked demonstrations by women highlighting the country's widespread violence against women.

Kidnappings and sexual assaults against tourists are also not uncommon.
