It is forbidden for a woman to remove her hijab in front of non-mahram men, whether in Western countries or her own country. Her guardian must command her to wear the hijab and compel her to do so, because true well-being lies in obedience to Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him). Furthermore, there is a concern that a father who condones his daughter removing her hijab might fall under the meaning of "dayyuth" (a cuckold/pimp) as mentioned in the hadith.
