Is Lusaka Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Lusaka

It's hard to explain, but I generally feel both safe and unsafe in Lusaka. To some degree it's a matter of knowing where I'm going,obviously some areas are more safe than others. But I'm also aware that as a woman, I'm never ever truly safe anywhere. In my opinion the most common type of harassment is catcalling. Men will always try to walk you to your destination, get your number, comment on your body outfit name it. And the "I want to be your friend"🤮uncles(older men)who drive suspiciously close to you. Please always be aware of your surroundings,don't walk with headphones in both ears blasting loud music. I think this has always helped me stay clear of terrible situations. Oh and if you go clubbing,take care of your drink and be weary of men who want to excessively buy you alcohol, they call it "marinating"💔.
