hmmmm this question is a bit confusing... i.e on the part of finding the number of women.
Looking at the graph, and say considering Red, it's pretty obvious that men are $3$, now my confusion is on the number of women, is it $5$ or $8$? my thinking falls on two perspectives,firstly that any scale has to start from $0$ implying $8$ and secondly by considering the different shades (spread) and using the given scale to check the distribution will imply $5$.

5

That's the way these histograms work.
