Australia has been hailed as the safest country in the world for women, with Sudan, Somalia, Syria and among the most dangerous.

The findings were published in the February 2018 Global Wealth Migration Review, released by consultancy New World Wealth last month.

Rounding out the top ten safest nations were Malta, rtp pola Iceland, , , Poland, Monaco, , the USA and South Korea.

Social commentator and former clinical psychologist Bettina Arndt said the fact Australia is leading the world in women’s safety should be celebrated. 

Ms Anrdt said the results disprove a dominant ‘anti-male narrative determined to paint our men as dangerous to women’.

‘The way the media has treated this report’s findings shows how common that anti-male agenda is in this country,’ she said.

‘There’s absolutely no room in this agenda for celebrating good Aussie blokes or boasting about how well they treat the women in their lives.

‘The story has been barely mentioned in the mainstream media, which normally loves stories about our country being the best in the world.

‘Just look at the way the media reacted late last year when official statistics had revealed there’s no epidemic of domestic violence.

‘In fact over the last decade there’s been no increase in women being abused by their partners.
