The countries and regions where it is safest and least safe to walk at night in the world, the six Gulf countries are very impressive
Gallup's 2025 World Safety Report asked 144 countries and regions with 144,000 respondents about the proportion of people who feel safe walking alone at night.
Although there are many wars around the world, 73% of people worldwide feel safe walking alone at night in their own country, which is the highest share in 20 years, including 78% of men and 67% of women. In 2006, it was only 63%, and has been steadily increasing over the years.
The countries and regions that feel the safest are mainly Chinese areas and the Middle East, which is a bit unexpected. Singapore, mainland China, and Hong Kong are all very safe.
The Middle East has the six Gulf countries, where it feels very safe, without war, which is very different from other Middle Eastern regions. How this was achieved is worth studying. Arabs should not be underestimated; they don't work hard themselves, but they are very good at management.
84% of American men believe they feel safe walking alone at night, while only 58% of women have the same sense of security. The gender gap reached 26 percentage points, which is absurd. The proportion of American women who feel safe is the same as that of Indians. I don't know what's going on.
The countries that feel the least safe are in Africa, with South Africa at the bottom, which is not surprising. Chileans in South America also feel very unsafe, which is unexpected.
