How safe is Brasília for women?

It depends a lot on the place and time. Places that are less crowded and later at night tend to be more dangerous. You have to stay alert; it's risky to walk around blatantly using your phone (even though many people do it). Gender-related crimes are more of the femicide type, related to partners. However, kidnappings and rapes also occur.

It depends where you live in Brasilia. The Plano piloto is very safe and calm. I walk around most places even when it’s dark. Sometimes it’s empty so that has potential for danger. Overall it’s been a great place and much safer than some other big cities in Brasilia.

It's safer than other capitals of Brasil but in some areas have the danger of robbery and bad intentioned men at night, the public transport does not have robbery inside but maybe in bus stops are very dangerous depending on wich neighbourhood you are but mostly in tourists areas are safer than outskirts

Brasilia is very safe in general if you are on the center of the city. Looks like a park and a condo at the same time. The night ends early but you have a lot of options to do during the day, and it’s close to many waterfalls.

Brasilia is a big city with a countryside vibe. Overall I feel safer here in comparison to other cities in Brazil. I’m not saying it cannot happen, but I think it happens less. It also depends the area of Brasilia.
