How safe is Leon for women?

It's so safe and everyone is so chill. Because of it's a small city, you feel safe even late at night and alone. I've never felt threatened by anyone, lots of the places are open at nights so it's never empty and scary

I feel very safe at night. The only little thing is people like partying a lot so sometimes you can encounter drunk people but i didn’t see any harm. And its a small city so it definitely feels warmer and safer!
