-So the U.S. was recently ranked the world's sixth most dangerous country for women due to tying Syria for third in sexual violence and harassment.

This doesn't make any sense. Rape and violence are a huge issue in third world countries, especially in Africa, but due to the lack of communication and news outlets in these countries it doesn't get any attention. There's no way the US is even in the top 100 most dangerous countries for women.

The culture in the US right now encourages reporting of assaults and harassment.  In many other places, this is very much discouraged.  So, working with numbers that are reported by victims doesn't paint an accurate picture.  This statistic is laughable.
