Is Yangon safe for women?
There has been an increase in pickpockets and theft while on public transportation. Sometimes empty streets. There has been reports of people being put at knife point and having their phones taken by 2 or more robbers. It's not happening everyday, but it has certainly become a thing to look out for. Everything else is fine. Safe to walk around during the day.
