Is Tamale safe for women?
Alaine
Tamale is primarily a conservative, Muslim society. Foreign women stick out, and harassment is common. Generally staying in well lit places and in groups is recommended. It's mostly safe but there is strong anti-LGBT sentiment, and if you go out at night always go with people you trust.
