According to a major study by Georgetown University, the UAE holds the greatest percentage of women who feel safe in their communities worldwide.
One of the best parts about living in the UAE is the incredible amount of safety and security that residents experience here, so it comes as no surprise that the UAE ranks highest when it comes to women’s perception of their safety in their communities and cities.
For this study, women across the world aged 15 years and older were asked to report whether they “feel safe walking alone at night in the city or area where you live.”
In the UAE, 98.5 percent reported feeling safe. That is the highest percentage worldwide.
Researchers said measuring this safety perception was critical to women’s mobility and influences their ability to look for opportunities outside of the home.
