Women's Safety

Women's Safety is one of the notable problems in this country. Women's and girls' violence, which was a common and ominous characteristic of crimes perpetrated during Liberia's 14-year civil war, has long been a severe problem in the country, both before and after the conflict.

Some sorts of harassment and verbal abuse may be directed towards women traveling alone. Be wary of who you put your faith in. Women travelers should be on the lookout for crooks, both male and female. They may work alone or in groups, appearing as good Samaritans or causing distractions in order to take valuables.

Be careful of new "friends" you meet overseas, including locals, fellow travelers, and even Canadians. Additionally, keep your tourist profile low and avoid giving off the appearance that you're lost or defenseless. Know where you're going, what you're doing, and how to go back to your starting point.

Furthermore, only take authorized and recognized cabs. If a taxi driver approaches you at an airport arrival area, don't take it. Such services are almost always unlawful and sometimes dangerous. Women's Safety should be paid more attention in Liberia.
