  一项新的专家调查指出,对女性而言,印度是世界上最危险的国家,因为在该国遭受性暴力及奴役的风险很高。

  虽然制定了更为严苛的法律,但印度国家犯罪统计局表示,在印度警察每天依然会接到约100次性侵报案。

  The foundation's survey was conducted after the #MeToo campaign emerged in October 2019. The large number of women alleging sexual misconduct since then is the reason the US has been included on the list.

  饱受战争蹂躏的阿富汗排在第二位,因为这个国家是女性遭受非性暴力最严重的国家,其中包括因冲突而产生的暴力以及家庭暴力。

  Syria, where a war has raged for more than seven years, ranked third on the list. The country is considered the second-most dangerous in terms of sexual violence.

  排在榜单第三位的是叙利亚,战争已在该国持续了七年多。在性暴力问题上,该国被认为是第二危险的国家。

  The Foundation held a similar survey seven years ago, and found Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Pakistan, India and Somalia to the be the five most dangerous countries for women.

  七年前,该基金会进行了一项类似的调查,当时的调查结果是阿富汗、刚果民主共和国、巴基斯坦、印度和索马里是对女性而言最危险的五个国家。
