Why would anyone in their right mind go to Pakistan? Straight up dangerous for women, most places are dangerous for men as well.
Sure they have nice mountains, but you have those in much safer places as well.
When someone recommends Pakistan I feel like they’re saying: “Sure, Hell is a bit hot but it has great view”.
- postsantum 5y agoGilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir seem to be pretty safe
- asadlionpk 5y agoStop watching CNN too much :) Pakistan is perfectly safe option and is a fast-growing economy with a significant IT industry.
- MrRiddle 5y agoI have coworkers from Pakistan, only women who doesn’t wear a headscarf is very rich and lives in gated community. She told me she definitely can’t go outside that gated community or she would be assaulted. YouTube videos display mostly men in the streets. If I can’t go somewhere with my wife the way she is, guess what, I won’t be going there, nor western women should neither.

- Wavelets 5y agoYeah, Pakistan is definitely safer than living in the US (/s). Something tells me the numbers in that table are self reported.
