2023 - Netherlands in top ten for safest countries in the world for women - see link further north. [/quote]
The website you cited is very random and the information does not inspire trust.[/quote]

I did not find the link random and have used this web site in the past. However, it is good to scrutinize how credible online info is.

That web sites compilation of the top 9 safest countries for women is a comprehensive report based on data sourced from the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) Index, jointly developed by the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security and the Peace Research Institute Oslo.

The WPS Index assesses the status of women's inclusion, access to justice, and overall security across a spectrum of 170 countries.

This assessment is structured encompassing a total of 11 distinct indicators:
Education 
Financial inclusion 
Employment 
Cellphone use 
Parliamentary representation 
Absence of legal discrimination (aggregate score) 
Son bias (male/female ratio at birth) 
Discriminatory norms (% of men) 
Intimate partner violence 
Community safety (%) 
Organized violence

Further, the list is corroborated by other data.

[b]What is the Netherlands ranked in gender equality?[/b]

The Netherlands cracks the top five countries for women in 2023 after having been ranked No. 8 in 2022. Women made up about 41% of the Dutch parliament last year, up significantly from 31% in 2019 just three years prior.

^^^^

Our experiences are in line with data above.

We have quite a few female relatives in the Netherlands and they all feel safe there.

We visit regularly and have never had problems with immigrant men harassing females in the group. Such problems may exist to some extent but I don’t think this issue keeps Dutch women awake at night.

People seem more concerned about lack of affordable housing and rapid hikes in cost of living/ basic commodities. [/quote]
