Denmark has earned the title as the best place for women to live based on the Women, Peace and Security Index. It uses 13 indicators that span women’s inclusion from education to justice in order to generate scores. Denmark continues to lead the rankings, while Afghanistan performs the worst. Notable the USA dropped in the rankings as they are removing healthcare and attempting to remove voting rights from women. Hopefully for those living in the USA the shame of falling down the rankings will help change things there for the better. Many developed counties are in the top 20 and we can also hope that they all do as well as Denmark next year, after all the wellbeing of women is directly connected to the wellbeing of nations.
