This one studies answers to, “Do you feel safe walking alone at night?”
This graph, in particular, shows the gap between answers from men vs. women.
What I find fascinating is, as noted, that the gap is largest in high-income countries.

I downloaded the .csv data connected to that poll.
The UK is usually considered a high income nation, but the gender gap for the UK is just -5%. Paradoxically, the gender gap is actually slightly better (just -4%) in Palestine, a country that’s being bombed to oblivion in the genocidal war being waged by Israel.

I don’t think they were implying that all countries with high incomes had wide gaps, instead, the majority of those with the wide gaps happen to be high income countries.

My Google-fu failed me, and I was unable to find the poll. Link?

Thanks. Turned out I visited that site, but I just couldn’t find the figure you posted, so I thought it had to be elsewhere. So now I downloaded the report (gave them one of my spam-preventions email addresses since they insisted on having an email address first) and there it was. Well hidden behind a not-really-registration deterrent and a download, in a pdf file.
That a sorry state of affair isn’t it?!
That so many women feel so unsafe, that is tragic.
I’d agree with them though, I have a black belt in martial arts and do not feel safe at night.
Maybe I’m over cautious, anxious… etc… but I’m always on edge when out at night.
Its a very vague question to ask.
I feel safe in my local area, walk further down the road and ill stand out way too much being the only white guy in a non white high crime rate area.
If I walk in the opposite direction ill feel safer than in my own area because its the rich area, take a turn from that and ill be in the high crime rate white area, ill stand out less but still be nervous as hell.
If you live in a city, at least in the uk you definitely shouldnt feel safe at night whether youre a man or woman.
That gets even worse on friday and saturday nights.
If you feel safe in one of our cities at night on your own at the weekend you must have 0 survival instinct.
According to this article (Gallup where I assume Cyber LN got their data) it’s more like 20% (the first table):
As far as I can tell there’s no other mention of the UK in the article.
