How safe is Baghdad?

There are areas that are very populated and obviously ok to walk in because you see much crowd or much shops for example. But for example, I wouldn't say it's so safe for a girl to walk in an unknown area at night by herself when the if that area doesn't have people walking around or crowds.

Moderately safe actually but i think it's a little bit scary in the dark nights and small alleys but overall main streets are good to walk in even in the dark ! Transport is actually depending on the people themselves you get in with but still moderately safe tho , Hope y'all stay safe wherever you go .
