In the modern civilized society that advocates equality between men and women, countries around the world still have their own different evaluation criteria for the status of men and women. As we all know, in some Muslim countries, the status of women is generally relatively low. But you know what? According to the Global Women’s Safety Index ranking released by the United Nations, there are some countries with a very high status of women, and various protection measures for women’s rights and interests are quite perfect. They are rated as the most suitable country for women to live in by netizens, which can be said to be a paradise for women. In these countries, women do not have to worry about all kinds of insults, harassment and domestic violence from men. Women have a very high voice in these countries. Today, let’s take a look at the five countries with the highest status of women.

1. Norway

In order to promote equality between men and women, the Norwegian authorities have been making unremitting efforts. In the “Gender Equality Law” promulgated 20 years ago, a series of rewards and punishments have been formulated for women’s rights and interests in various aspects. Until five years ago, they re-enacted anti-discrimination laws, set up a women’s rights association in Norway, and increased the number of jobs for women far more than for men. In addition, in view of the special situation of women, the laws and regulations also make clear that local women in Norway will basically have a stable and easy career, without long overtime or overload work. If women unfortunately lose their jobs, there is no need to worry, the government will send special personnel to help these unemployed women solve the problem, apart from letting them learn skills for free, they will also arrange jobs for them.

Women are entitled to two months of maternity leave with no reduction in pay and benefits, and even up to 11 months of childcare leave at full pay. So, isn’t it nice that women in Norway are paid full wages and don’t have to work at all from the time they give birth until their child is one year old? And that’s not all. Norwegian children receive a generous monthly stipend from birth until they turn 18.

2. Finland

Women in Finland have a very high status in history. Unlike women in other countries around the world, they had the right to vote freely at the beginning of the last century. Moreover, in the history of Finland, there have been numerous female political leaders. Now that the number of female parliamentarians in Finland is almost equal to that of men, and there have even been instances when women outnumber men in public office, women really hold up half the sky in Finland. In addition to the state power, after Finnish women get married, a large amount of housework is basically done by men. Moreover, women have the right to freely choose military service, and even choose the training programs of soldiers, which is a welfare that men do not have.

3. Iceland

Iceland passed gender equality laws decades ago, giving women the same social status as men. And the law clearly states that no company or corporation can have less than 40 percent of its board members be women. Perhaps due to the influence of national customs and culture, local Icelandic men are also very friendly towards women, and even can be said to be bottomless tolerant. In the history of Iceland, there was once a female president who ruled for 16 years. In Iceland’s various public baths, men are not allowed to enter without a woman’s consent. Including the common street chat up phenomenon, which is also illegal in Iceland, where women have the option of calling the police on men who have approached them.

4. Denmark

As a developed country, the status of women in Denmark is far higher than that of men, and even the status of men and women here can be said to be completely reversed. Unlike in many countries where women are protected, in Denmark it is men who really need protection. Even the prime minister of Denmark is now a woman. As women’s status is getting higher and higher, many Danish men will also choose to commit suicide because they cannot bear the pressure of family.

5. Luxembourg

In fact, Luxembourg has always been relatively conservative for open European countries, and the status of women is generally not high, which has caused resentment in other European countries. Later, Luxembourg finally passed the “Law on Gender Equality” and comprehensively revised the country’s laws and regulations, comprehensively improving the status of women. In today’s Luxembourg, if a woman is subjected to sex discrimination, harassment, violence, etc., in the workplace, the relevant personnel receive severe penalties.

To sum up, these five countries have the highest status of women among all countries in the world. Here, women can truly take charge of their own affairs, and their rights and interests are fully protected by various welfare benefits and laws and regulations.
