Is it safe for a woman to live alone or travel in the UK?

I would say statistically speaking, probably Uk just cause there’s more people around and harder for someone to track your movements or notice you. If you have good neighbors then the living alone is by a big ton safer. If you don’t know the neighbors. Uk is safer cause the neighbors can easily tack you and study stuff like when you enter or leave and they’ll notice if you live alone and such by number of vehicles or noticing who and who doesn’t enter your place. If you have a dog or two in your place I’d say your home is again pushed to being the safest. Especially if they’re protective and medium to large. They guarantee helping you when it’s uncertain if public bystanders would help you and intervene in a situation with you and another person or so.

I say uk has to be safer because of the public and amount of eyes

I WOULD JUST ADD

not every place of the uk is safe and not every time of day. I wouldn’t try an alley (right) lol or try that alley early dawn or near dusk. Actually- skip the alley.

THE PARK I wouldn’t try at dawn or dusk. A lot of stuff affects the chances of being okay or in danger.

I think you have good odds with uk. Just don’t trust it like a mom lol.

If I personally had dogs I’d choose living alone than traveling alone in the uk.

If you will do so (yolo right)! At least consider preparing yourself and ofc letting some trusted ones know that you’re making the trip and for how long. 👍

Yes. Just be aware of scamers and robbers. Like anywhere else!

[Rosexøxø]

True 👍

You can safely travel just about anywhere. However that does not mean you are 100% safe. No where is 100% so take proper precautions. Avoid traveling late at night, have self defense tools, open lines of communication with someone who can verify your whereabouts should something happen. Even as a man when I travel alone I maintain lines of communication with someone in case something happens.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Yes, but you still have to be diligent in your planning, as there are some VERY bad places to avoid! Just like there are all over the world!

[RebelinSteel]

Yes it is, she does obviously have to take sensible precautions, also London compared to say Cheltenham or Ely are completely different

[KostasKouvalis]

Ask @LostandFound__x. She's a woman who lives in the UK.

Why? Are you planning on moving?

[Babygirl_S]

Kind of

[KostasKouvalis]

Wow! How did you decide on that?

[Babygirl_S]

I keep changing my mind because honestly I'm scared of racism

[KostasKouvalis]

In the UK? There is some, yes. But what made you consider the UK to begin with?

[Babygirl_S]

It seems to be easier to emigrate than other countries I like

[KostasKouvalis]

Why don't you wanna stay in India though?

[LostandFound__x]

My take is that the UK is not safe for a woman to live alone generally speaking. You’d have to be a bit careful. In terms of racism, it depends on where you live. London is very diverse.

[Babygirl_S]

I'm not sure

[driven159]

if you go alone, you see what you want to see eat what you want get up when you want just do what you want to do

[TallAnon]

Depends where, there's places in London where I wouldn't let my female friends walk alone at night.

[Amur8711]

Its never 100% safe, and is actually getting more dangerous to do so. However the likelihood is still extremely low.

[Jennz6]

Probably but be careful

[AngryCarl]

It's pretty safe yeah. Not 100%.

[AngryCarl]

I mean it's not Afghanistan.
