An expanded "explination" of the rankings:

India

Child marriage, foeticide and infanticide, sexual trafficking, domestic slave labour, domestic violence and high maternal mortality all make India worst of the G20.

Saudi Arabia

Women can’t drive and were only given the right to vote in 2011. They are well educated but most who have studied to tertiary level are unemployed.

Indonesia

Violence, child marriage, sexual trafficking, harassment and exploitation make Indonesia dangerous for women while health services are poor.

South Africa

Some of the highest rates of sexual and gender-based violence in the world blight a country where women are well represented in politics.

Mexico

Male chauvinism and deep social and economic inequalities that restrict women’s access to healthcare and other services put Mexico at 16.

China

Foeticide and infanticide mean China has one of the highest male-to-female sex ratios at birth, resulting in huge gender imbalances.

Russia

Domestic violence and high rates of prostitution and human trafficking make Russia a difficult place to be a woman.

Turkey

Violence, child marriage and domestic slavery remain huge problems in Turkey while a rise in political conservatism is curtailing freedoms.

Brazil

Social and economic inequalities have a disproportionate impact on women due to their reproductive role and need for additional healthcare.

South Korea

Ingrained stereotypes and a patriarchal culture continue to restrict women’s freedoms and curtail advancement in public and private sectors.

Argentina

Women suffer from a lack of good healthcare and poor access to sexual and reproductive education and services, particularly outside Buenos Aires.

Italy

Italy has made big strides but women still face discrimination in the workforce, including lower salaries and poor access to managerial positions.

Japan

Women face an ingrained patriarchal culture. Many are taught that their contribution to the workforce ends when they have children.

United States

Women have good access to education but suffer disproportionately from a lack of universal healthcare. Reproductive services are being rolled back.

France

Women benefit from access to free healthcare and favourable maternity leave policies but continue to be under-represented in the workforce.

Australia

Laws and policies protect women’s rights and promote their freedoms but they aren’t always reflected by the situation on the ground.

United Kingdom

Women benefit from free healthcare, good access to education and opportunities in business but remain underrepresented in government.

Germany

A female head of state is a major boost but Germany fares worse than many European states in terms of women in the boardroom.

Canada

Policies promoting women’s rights and well-enforced laws against violence and exploitation make Canada the best place of the G20.

So there's nothing bad to say about Canada. It is in fact a utopia for women the world over. Hooray!
Also, how the heck is China better for women than Mexico? They kill most of the women in China before they can even be born....not being alive kinda puts a damper on living as a woman.
