Women’s safety index

[The Turkmen Emirate]

The Turkmen Emirate is doing a survey on women’s safety in order to identify which countries women are the safest and their characteristics (in order to emulate them in protecting women).

Countries ranked safest to least safe

1-Commonwealth of Andocara (Andocara):
Extensive laws protect women against both harassment and domestic violence,
murders of women are extremely rare and the majority of women feel safe even alone at night.
2- The Republic of Aroil (Aroil): rates of murder, domestic violence and sexual harassment are rare. Extensive laws exist and are enforced by the police.
3- Federal-Democratic Republic of Alinghi (Alinghi Federal-Democratic Republic): Laws protect women and over 90% of police officers say they would take action, the murder rate against women is very low.
Despite this the sexual harassment rate is relatively high.

4- The Empire of Tangatarehua (Tangatarehua):
A matriarchal society where sexual harassment against women is extremely rare as is domestic violence (with the police taking action against both) but with a high rate of murder in general meaning murders of women are roughly global average.
5-Horde of Sky Reavers (Sky Reavers): the vast majority of women feel safe during day or night. Laws and police attitudes are on the side of the victim

6-Holy Empire of Comoristaniat (Comoristaniat):
The vast majority of women feel safe, protected by extensive laws which are usually enforced.



7-The Workers Concilliar Republic of Greater Thamesholm (Greater Thamesholm Concilliar Republic):
Police will almost always take action against
gender-based crimes against women and the vast majority of women feel safe in the workplace or going out during the day.

8- The Han Caliphate (The Turkmen Emirate):
Sexual assaults, armed robberies and murders of women are rare.
All police officers say they would take action against sexual harassment in the street or domestic violence.
The majority of women feel safe in their homes and the vast majority feel safe at work though there are issues with safety of female indentured servants.
9-The Queensdom of Laka Strolistandiler (Laka Strolistandiler):
Sexual harassment is rare and almost always combatted when it does occur. The same is true of domestic violence.
The murder rate against women, is slightly higher than the Turkmen Emirate, however.

10- Second Republic of Andalusia (New Audalusia):
The vast majority of women feel safe even walking alone at night despite this murders of women are somewhat more common.

11-Republic of Crossoveria (The Imagination Animals):
The vast majority of women feel safe even walking alone at night despite this murders of women are somewhat more common.

12- Democratic People’s Republic of Magnolis (Magnolis):
Laws criminalise domestic violence, definitions of sexual harassment are broad enough in most major cities to protect women.
13- The United Kingdom Of Democratic Republic Of Melayu Federation (Melayu Federation):
Extensive laws exist against harassment, domestic violence is also illegal and the majority of women feel safe even alone at night.

14-Great Bountiful Empire of the United Turtles, Mushrooms, and Men of TurtleShroom (TurtleShroom II):
High level of police and public hatred against those who harm women, extensive self-defence rights, severe punishments (both official and unofficial) for
ill-treatment of women mean women are generally safe.
Despite this, some forms of sexual assault are have lenient punishments in law and some forms of sexual harassment are de jure permitted (though police take it upon themselves to protect women).


15-
The Republic of Westmonkwick (Westmonkwick):
Police take crimes against women very seriously and laws are extensive, especially in the way the police interpret them. The majority of women feel safe day and night
Despite this, sexual harassment is common.

16-Federation of North Raidland (The Federation of North Raidland):
Danger to women is high especially in the workplace.

17-
The Empire of Gaznaviyan (Gaznaviyan):
Very few women feel safe walking alone at night, the laws are inadequate and police attitudes are poor.


18-The Russian Empire (Greater Russian Domain): The majority of women feel safe walking alone at night but rates of robbery and sexual assault against women are high and laws to protect against sexual harassment are somewhat limited, only giving women the right to be safe against “repeated” sexual harassment or harassment when the men are in a position of power over them (greater physical strength is not classified as a position of power women must be protected against).

19-the United Republic of the King Isle (the King Isle):
Despite the majority of police officers being willing to protect women and the severe punishments for domestic violence this does not seem to work.
1 in 1,000 women are murdered and the majority of women are the victims of
violent robbery.

Despite women claiming to feel safe even walking alone at night, 1.21 in 1,000 women are murdered.

23-Kingdom of Estonland (Estonland):
Rates of crimes against women are very high, the majority of police officers say they would not take action against domestic violence and marital rape is not even classified as a crime.

[The Greater Russian Domain]

To The Turkmen Emirate: Just a note, you can improve the ease of copying and the format of your questionaire by putting it in a code box, and putting the bold codes around every line individually so the answers can stick out by not being bold.

General note: As this is a serious topic, I'm gonna attempt to follow a range of research-based answers based on the responses in comparatively safe nations of significant geographic size and population, as my nation is meant to be (due to ease of access and these specific goals, this will mostly be inspired by, but not direct copies of, statistics regarding the US), and these numbers will try to match the honest reality of those nations as best as I can answer. That said, reliable statistics are hard to pin down on some of these, especially ones sufficiently reliable to safely extrapolate and worldbuild upon. Citation of numbers that look high are not endorsements of those numbers being "good" numbers, as they are still indicative of more danger than would be truly good, because NO danger is what would be truly good

Full IC nation name: Russian Empire

If so please explain laws on this: Ownership of arms is legal in Russia for compos mentis non-felons of the age of majority (17), as well as the shall-issue licensed concealed carry thereof in most places.
What percentage of police officers (or equivalent) say the would take action against a man harassing women in the street: 95.4%
How would the majority of police officers define harassment: Harassment as defined in Russian law, which is the sustained, repeated, or position-enhanced (that is, making use of a degree of social power over the target) display of aggressive but non-contact/marginal-contact (marginal contact meaning "not causing pain, nor involving an erogenous zone of either party, nor consisting of a grab or hold that prevents or complicates escape") confrontation to a person with the intent of coercing action, inaction, retreat, or some other desired response from them.
Is sexual harassment recognised as a crime under your nation’s legal system? (either under a specific law or under laws that legislate against harassment more generally): Yes
How is it defined?: Sexual harassment specifically is a 1.5x severity enhancement for when the means or motive of the harassment is demonstrably indicative of sexual interest.
Is domestic violence against women defined as a crime?: Yes, domestic violence is defined as a crime as a general rule
Is domestic violence against women grounds for divorce or equivalent: Yes, domestic violence is grounds for divorce for the victim as a general rule.
If either is true what is it’s definition?: Domestic violence is defined as the physical assault and/or false imprisonment of an adult* cohabitant of one's place of dwelling when a past or current romantic link is demonstrable. (*Children are covered under separate statutes)
If it is defined as a crime what percentage of police officers say they would take action: 99.4%
any other information you want to add (optional)?: it is worth noting that the line at which harrassment ends and sexual assault begins is at less than some of the countries listed alongside. Furthermore, "repeated" or "sustained" in the case of harrassment law means something as simple as "repeating or continuing after one negative response, whether verbal or nonverbal (breaking marginal contact, trying to flee the area, even tensing up in a reasonably noticeable way) or lasting more than 15 seconds with no demonstrable affirmative sign of cooperation, so it does become a crime pretty quickly.

As for the high numbers, we will cite the safe reporting paradox when comparing sexual crime statistics between countries, wherein countries where sexual violence against women is more endemic may actually have a lower recorded rate than factually less dangerous countries because of the chilling effect that the further cultural presence of sexual violence has on reporting.

Can all or some women (other than government employees of any kind) carry pepper spray for self-defence: Yes, however the majority prefer to use deadlier weapons.
If so please explain laws on this: Lakans self defense law is very lenient on how self defense is limited and wether or not the person being assaulted should take measures to avoid killing the perpetrator, and given how insanely weaponized and suicidal the nation is, it’s no wonder why self defense cases here usually take the form of a last stand by the attacked person.
What percentage of police officers (or equivalent) say the would take action against a man harassing women in the street: 99.9%- failure to do so is very likely to result in dishonorable disharge or even an order to commit suicide to cleanse the Miliz office of great shame said officer has brought upon them.
How would the majority of police officers define harassment: Anything suggestive of any sexual undertones towards any person. Lakans are very closeted about this matter- and even suggesting that someone should “get comfy” may easily lead to a dueling challenge- the offended person is going to attempt to avenge such shameful display.
Is sexual harassment recognised as a crime under your nation’s legal system? (either under a specific law or under laws that legislate against harassment more generally): A helluva lot of laws that restrict personal life of citizens, including this.
How is it defined?: Sexual harassment is a more severe form of harassment, usually done in a more crude and dishonorable ways.

If it is defined as a crime what percentage of police officers say they would take action: 99%.
any other information you want to add (optional)?: Lakan culture has little to no differentiation between female and male gender roles- and both of them are (by modern western standards) extremely brutal, with many problems being resolved by simply dueling it out and forced suicide (or any other suicide in general) considered a viable way of dealing with problems when they are way too bad.

[The Greater Russian Domain]

As an addendum to my post, it is worth noting that the line at which harrassment ends and sexual assault begins is at less than some of the countries listed alongside. Furthermore, "repeated" or "sustained" in the case of harrassment law means something as simple as "repeating or continuing after one negative response, whether verbal or nonverbal (breaking marginal contact, trying to flee the area, even tensing up in a reasonably noticeable way) or lasting more than 15 seconds with no demonstrable affirmative sign of cooperation, so it does become a crime pretty quickly.

As for the high numbers, we will cite the safe reporting paradox when comparing sexual crime statistics between countries, wherein countries where sexual violence against women is more endemic may actually have a lower recorded rate than factually less dangerous countries because of the chilling effect that the further cultural presence of sexual violence has on reporting.

1. True but the line at which “not a crime” ends end harassment begins begins at more, unsolicited advances on the street are legal.

2. True that’s why we asked about laws and police attitudes as well.

[TURTLESHROOM II]

TurtleShroom's sapient population is not entirely consistent of humans. For the purposes of this article, only humans have been surveyed.


Full IC nation name: Great Bountiful Empire of the United Turtles, Mushrooms, and Men of TurtleShroom

What percentage of women say they feel safe walking alone during the day:

Even in territories with a lot of rebels, well over ninety percent of human females don't give this a second thought, gladly going out alone. When factoring in the human females with tasers or guns, it is almost unanimous.

What percentage of women say they feel safe walking alone at night:

In areas with significant rebel and raider violence from militant groups, the numbers are just under fifty percent. (This is where the rebels and raiders strike the most.) When a human female in such regions is armed and asked this, however, the number shoots up to sixty percent.

However, in every other place in TurtleShroom, both urban and rural, the survey reports that in excess of ninety percent of human females feel safe going out at night alone. When factoring in gun or taser ownership, the safety report is almost uanimous.

What percentage of women say they feel safe in their home: Almost an unanimous "yes". Almost every outlier was later found to be a victim of abuse.

What percentage of women in employment say they feel safe in their workplace?: Almost an unanimous "yes".

What percentage of women say they have been sexually harassed:

TurtleShroomian law and culture defines sexual harassment as sexual assault. In order for a crime to be committed, any sort of physical contact OR exposure of genitalia must occur. A human male slapping a female human's bottom, for instance, is considered extremely dishonorable unless he is married to her, but it is not the same as criminal sexual assault (see below). Normally, unwanted bottom slapping is punishable by fines. The cultural fallout is far worse, however: a man that does that to a woman who is not his wife is seen as untrustworthy and it is a stain on his honor.

Then comes the criminal acts. Examples of sexual assault that is not rape in TS include: groping a woman's breasts, touching her breasts without her consent, touching her genitals without consent, and, of course, molestation or penetration of genitals with something that is not male genitalia. Pulling down a woman's skirt or pants (etc.) and exposing her underwear is also a criminal act.
This is not an exhaustive list. Committing these acts within wedlock and in the privacy of one's own home is not prosecuted as a crime, and neither is a woman fighting back a crime.

If the human female on the receiving end is under eighteen and not married to the male, the punishment is a mandatory life in prison or death. If the human female on the receiving end is under fourteen and molestation or penetration has occurred, the punishment is a mandatory death sentence.

Lastly, catcalling is completely lawful, and unexpectedly kissing someone by surprise is as well, but catcalling in particular is considered extremely dishonorable if it is sexual. Societal pressures limit this to G-rated things such as "LOOKING GOOD!" or whistling. Anyone that makes sexual comments can be fined and will certainly be booted from any establishment or ostracized by their peers. Cops tend to "have fun" with these kinds of uppity people who "don't know how to treat a lady".

What percentage of women say they have been assaulted (other than sexual assaults): Very low, probably under twenty percent. Almost all of these cases were dealt with by a woman fighting back with either a gun, taser, or hornet spray.

What percentage of women say they have been sexually assaulted:

There are currently approximately a hundred thousand rapists on Death Row, most of whom, are to be executed within six months, and all of whom committed an act of sexual violence against a human female. (Male-on-male rapists don't usually survive long enough to be on Death Row.) In addition, there are approximately one million serving hard time for some form of non-capital sex crime.

What is the murder rate against women per 100,000 women: The murder rate of female humans is one-fifth that of male humans. This is largely because of extreme stigma against harming human females and the presence of husbands, who are expected to kill a person trying to kill his wife.

What percentage of women say they have been robbed with violence: Less than ten percent. TurtleShroom law allows for any force, including lethal force, against a thief or mugger, and human females take advantage of this.

Can all or some women (other than government employees of any kind) carry pepper spray for self-defence: Yes, but pepper spray is discouraged in favor of the far more effective hornet spray, tasers, and guns.

If so please explain laws on this:

The only thing a human female has to do to get a gun is be over eighteen (fourteen for veterans), of sound mind, and pass a background test. No permit to carry is needed. If a human female wishes to purchase a machine gun, she has to undergo special training and certifications before using it (veterans are exempt).

Anyone can buy any spray, no matter their age. Anyone over twelve can buy and man a taser with parental permission, while adults can just by one outright.

What percentage of police officers (or equivalent) say the would take action against a man harassing women in the street:

Catcalling is not a crime, but if the catcalling is sexual or crude... cops tend to... intimidate horny people that don't know their place. He got that bruise by running into a doorknob.

A police officer witnessing a rape or a woman being beaten by her husband is expected to mag-dump.

How would the majority of police officers define harassment: The same as TS law. See above.

Is sexual harassment recognized as a crime under your nation’s legal system: See above.

How is it defined?: See above.

Is domestic violence against women defined as a crime?: Yes, and the punishment is mandatory death or life in prison.
Is domestic violence against women grounds for divorce or equivalent: Yes.

If either is true what is it’s definition?:

There are thousands of Parishes and sub-realms in the confederation that makes up TurtleShroom, but all of these have decided to inherit an Uniform Abuse Definition from what used to be an unitary government.

Domestic abuse is defined as the physical striking of a partner or child of whom one is related to by blood, adoption, or marriage. Any form of attack against one's wife or children, no matter how minor, can be prosecuted. A woman cannot be "disciplined" by her husband like a child can, and this is not grounds for lawful use of force. A man who spanks his wife is seen before the law as beating her.

Children can be spanked, hit, struck, or caned as disciplinary procedures, but not in a way that can leave scars, cause bruising, or draw blood, nor can a husband break his child's bones. No one may cause a child injury by heat (pouring boiling water, etc.), exposure (putting a child in a trunk or freezer, etc.) or starvation. Any instrument of whipping most be broad, not studded, and made of leather, such as a belt. A child may not be whipped with a whip or other instrument that would cause bruising. Furthermore, a parent cannot chain their child to something or otherwise restrain them from movement in a way that would cause injury. A parent that deliberately refuses to feed their child is also an abuser.

A parent who has sex with a child or blood relative that is not his wife will receive a mandatory death sentence if convicted of incest. A man who molests or sexually violates a child in any way will receive a mandatory death sentence if convicted of pedophilia or child molestation.

Marital rape does not exist in TS law. Even so, any act of violence against a human female by a male is prosecuted as domestic abuse and must be punished by death or life in prison. That includes injuries sustained by sex. TS law considers the marriage contract to be consent, but any act of violence in the marriage bed or elsewhere will be aggressively prosecuted.

All heretofore mentioned laws governing children also apply to wives and this list is not exhaustive.

TS law does not require intent to prosecute domestic abuse: for example, if the parent's physical contact of a child accidentally caused his bones to break, it is still a mandatory life sentence or death. The same goes if a child is left in a hot car and perishes.

Neither a husband nor a wife can file for divorce unless there is evidence of Marital Unfaithfulness. This includes acts such as domestic or sexual violence, drunkenness, adultery, serial drug abuse, pornography (which in itself is a crime), bigamy, soliciting hookers, attending (underground) strip clubs, and so on. Furthermore any action deemed both immoral and a refusal of the duties of a husband or wife can also count as Marital Unfaithfulness. Furthermore, domestic abuse of the children of the union (see above) is grounds for divorce. Annulment is a different legal category.

No-fault divorces do not exist in TurtleShroom. Anyone who claims to be divorced but did not divorce with a valid reason is still legally married and will be prosecuted for adultery. Moreover, a person from another country who has entered into what would be a no-fault divorce in TS law cannot legally marry in the country and will be deported if they try.

If it is defined as a crime what percentage of police officers say they would take action: One hundred percent, and most admit that they would deliberately kill someone doing it. Anyone that doesn't won't be a cop for much longer.
