UN Survey Says Home Is The ‘Most Unsafe Space’. So Where Do I Go?

If even a woman’s own home is unsafe for her then where does she go?

A new UN study shows that more than half the women murdered worldwide last year were killed by their partners or family members, making home "the most dangerous place for a woman.”

It’s ironic because most women are instructed to stay in their homes as it might be dangerous for them to be outside.

No matter what age you are, you should be wary of the outside world and try to stay home because that’s where you are supposed to be ‘safe,’ right?

Even though the study talks about the statistics on homicide worldwide, by now we know and have read extensively about a number of cases of sexual assault and domestic violence – among other crimes committed against women.

If the outside is unsafe and so is the inside, I would just want to ask, as a woman, where do I go?
