Is Suva Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Suva

This is from the lens of a bi-racial lighter skin woman that moved grew up in Suva and most recently lived there in 2019. Daytime vs nighttime are very different in the Suva area. During the day I feel completely safe walking and taking public transport by myself. At night, I would not recommend walking alone outside of the busy or central areas and if you are taking a taxi, make note of the drivers plates and don’t take a non-metered ride. If you want to go to a bar or club, try to stay to the main locations such as Traps or O’Reilly’s. If you’re going out to a bar or club leave expensive items at home, I have had my phone stolen multiple times. Overall, I do feel safe by myself but I do worry about being robbed at night, but outside of the average woman’s fear of sexual violence - I do not worry about that as much vs materialistic things being stolen.
