So apparently there are 3 countries below SA. To find out what these odd places are I went to http://reports.weforum.org/global-gender-gap-report-2016/rankings/ http://reports.weforum.org/global-gender-gap-report-2016/ran.... And apparently these 3 countries are Syria, Pakistan and Yemen! How is that even possible? Didn't Pakistan had a female prime minister? And I believe there were no rigorous restrictions on clothings or driving or working for women in any of these countries.
