 Nigeria ranks 10th in Africa’s most unsafe countries for women


Nigeria has been ranked 10th  in the list of Africa’s most unsafe countries for women, according to global Women Peace and Security Index 2023.

In the list, the Central African Republic ranks number one while DR Congo and South Sudan rank second and third respectively.

The WPS Index is published by the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security and the PRIO Centre on Gender, Peace and Security with support from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
