There is a balance here, and it's a personal assessment of risk based on personal circumstances.

My company works all over the Asia-pacific. I will not work in high risk locations (E.g Pakistan and Bangladesh). I am senior enough and secure enough in my career to tell my employer to take it or leave it. I will not put the company interests before my Wife and kids.

It has nothing to do with being a from in the well.

If the young lady posting earlier was to be sexually assaulted in India, then who gives a damn about the opinions expressed here. Sexual assault against women in India is a very real concern. It's endemic there.
