How safe is Gozo for female travelers?

Family travel

I felt very safe during the whole trip. The island of Gozo is full of interesting places such as beautiful landscapes, amazing beaches, cliffs and caves. The building ruins older than Stonehenge were very interesting. Locals were very friendly.

How safe is Gozo for women?

Overall it is not too bad. There are a few freaks who will stare and sometimes grab. I have been fine at night but there are who have been attacked so stay wary. Cat calling isn't out of the blue.

Honestly, it is quite a safe area, I've rarely felt increasingly worried about my safety. Now that is not to say that it is absolutely perfect because I have been catcalled very often, but it is not to the point where I am scared of being followed as they tend to stop once ignored.
