Many women are taking up solo traveling lately and in an attempt to help the ladies pick the safest places to travel, journalists Asher and Lyric Fergusson created a Women's Danger Index which ranks the top 10 worst places to travel alone.

The list was created based on 8 factors such as street safety for women, intentional homicide of women, non-partner sexual violence, intimate partner violence, legal discrimination, global gender gap, gender inequality index and violence against women's attitudes.
