Women's Day may have come and gone but for some in other parts of the world, being a woman is a daily battle against inequality and abuse. Of course the struggle intensifies when you are of a minority ethnicity in your home country. Here are a few of the best taken from The Independent.

The best place to be a woman

• Politics: Rwanda, 50% of women hold parliamentary seats
• Literacy: Lesotho, 95% of women can read and write.
• Journalists: The Caribbean, 45% of news reported stories are done by females.
• Highly Skilled work: Jamaica, almost 60% of senior roles are occupied by women.(Nothing surprising here given our plethora of "talented" black bruvs in the UK).
• Divorce: Island of Guam, has the highest divorce rate in the world.
• Birth: Greece, 1 in 31,800 risk of dying during childbirth. It is the safest in the world.
• Being a mother: Norway, has a low risk of maternal mortality- 1 in 7,600. (Will the Great British Chavs (GBC) now depart to over there? Unfortunately there is no data on available benefits).
• University: Qatar, where to every man six women are enrolled in further education.
• Sports: USA, five athletes from the US made it into the top ten highest paid female athletes' list.
• Money: Luxembourg & Norway.
• Living longer: Japan.

And all in all the best place to be a woman is Iceland, which boast of the greatest male and female equality ratio.
