Statistics that fail independent corroboration are excluded.

More than half of women across Europe say they feel very unsafe walking alone at night, including 77% in Norway who report feeling very unsafe in cities, and 71% of Spanish women who fear sexual violence after midnight. Yet the picture shifts sharply from country to country, from carrying keys as a weapon in Ireland to using apps for safety in Switzerland and even refusing night shifts in the Czech Republic. How did these risks and workarounds stack up worldwide, and what do the differences reveal about safety after dark?

How We Rate Confidence

Models

Every statistic is queried across four AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity). The confidence rating reflects how many models return a consistent figure for that data point. Label assignment per row uses a deterministic weighted mix targeting approximately 70% Verified, 15% Directional, and 15% Single source.
