This premise is called the "White Man's Burden". The White Man's Burden is the ideology that Europeans through their imperialist/colonial ventures are, as a consequence of westernization of conquered nations, bringing "civilization" to areas such as Africa and SE Asia.
This ideology was used to justify colonialism during the age of new imperialism.
Yes, it seems like a tempting idea on the surface, especially when recognizing the vast gaps across many metrics such as education, lifespan, and economic growth between areas such as Western Europe and Western Africa.
However, this justification has almost exclusively been used in order to justify conquest of a nation that, oftentimes, received little to no benefit from it's conquerors.
Some shining examples are Indonesia, India, Indochina, and almost the entirety of Africa. During the age of new imperialism, resources where extracted en masses and shipped to nations such as the British Empire and the French Empire. Skilled labor was often restricted to upper classes, so when these nations gained independence, the high-skilled laborers fled to their mother countries as well.
In many of these colonies, infrastructure was built for the sole purpose of extracting resources for the rulers, and racial segregation was very common (often justified by Eugenics).Populations of natives often had less rights than those hailing from Europe, and where in some cases brutalized.
See history of the British Raj, French Africa, The Belgian Congo. French Indochina, and Dutch Indonesia for some good examples. -

You have to take into account that the best countries for womens rights are the nordic ones. That suggests people in less developed countries are less evolved and shouldn't be allowed to live here.

That's a pretty big jump, and it has a whole hell of a lot more to do with culture. Saudi Arabia is a very rich and technologically advanced nation, but they still lag far behind "western nations" in women's rights.
Furthermore, as for your specific example, you used an example of a metric that is created by an attempt to quantify a qualitative aspect of society, most people have different definitions of what are women's rights and to what degrees such rights should be held, etc.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
