Dhaka, Solo travel
I traveled to Bangladesh to speak at a conference. There was some political demonstrations going on.while I was there because it was close to a big election and I was asked to stay in the hotel, however I did travel a bit and felt safe.

Most peole are muslim in Dhaka. Here the culture it's different. I didn't stay too long to understand well the situation, but I never heard about someone that was robbed, but as a woman I don't feel safe to go around alone.

Moderate. Varies on the type of area. The richer areas for example, Gulshan or Banani is very safe especially while driving. Other parts of Dhaka is questionable for commuting. I personally think, the rural areas outside Dhaka are women friendly or safer.

Most places I go to tend to be safe but I still wouldn't consider every part of it safe for ladies. I think it's best to know someone local who could cross check the locations or places(clubs) in general that you plan on visiting for the safety tips and emergency law enforcement support informations.

It is not safe during night after 10 pm for man and woman. So try to travel during day time. Public transport is not safe at night for woman at all. Don't talk to strangers. Not good for solo woman traveller.
