A new study by the Thomson Reuters Foundation found that India is the most dangerous country in the world for women. The study is based on a survey of 550 female and male experts on women's issues. The criteria included healthcare, discrimination, cultural traditions, sexual/non-sexual violence, and human trafficking.
