Translation:Gdzie chodzą te kobiety?

dojść pf (imperfective dochodzić)
1) to arrive on foot, to reach [+ do (genitive) = somewhere] Nad ranem w końcu doszliśmy do schroniska. At daybreak, we finally arrived at the mountain hut.
2) to achieve [+ do (genitive) = something] Mój ojciec nigdy do niczego w życiu nie doszedł. My father never achieved anything in his life.
3) (informal) to find out, to arrive at Doszedłeś już, jak to działa? Have you found out how this works yet?
4) to come, to have an orgasm
So "Dokąd te kobiety dojdą?" is... "Where will these woman arrive?", I guess. I'd actually translate it as... "end up", maybe? And it's Future Simple.
It's generally more natural to put the subject before the verb, otherwise you emphasize the subject.

Given the absence of context, I believe both "chodzą" and "idą" should be accepted here ("where do these women go?" is often, but not always, a habitual; it is e.g. compatible with adverbial phrases like "right now"; consider also e.g. "where do we go from here?" which is obviously non-habitual.) So this exercise should be made to accept "idą" (it currently -- March 3rd, 2021 -- doesn't) as a possible translation, alongside "chodzą" as the "best" translation, I think.
As explained elsewhere, that is incorrect verb to use here.

No. "ci" is for masculine personal, so "ci mężczyźni", but "te kobiety".
"idzią" is not a word, "idą" is what you meant. But as 'iść' implies Continous tense, that can't work in this sentence anyway. "walk" and "go" can be translated as "chodzą" - "idą" will be for "are walking/going".
And finally, while this course unfortunately teaches only "gdzie", the really correct version should be "dokąd". "Gdzie" means "where" and "dokąd" means "where to", it implies direction. But the course went with the colloquial usage of "gdzie" as both "where" and "where to", and now it cannot be changed, "gdzie" must be the default version.
