Is New Delhi safe for girls?

YAH!! it's really safe other than in obvious situations...

but if you're catching a taxi/rickshaw alone it's always safer to find a Sikh turban wearing driver... the most trustworthy =) the people of delhi are lovely.. in fact India is amazing, so enjoy yourself!

Over the last few years, the issue of women’s safety has become a major focus of public attention and concern in Delhi. A significant proportion of the respondents in a Public Perception Survey conducted during the preparation of the Human Development Report for Delhi feel that the streets of Delhi are becoming more and more unsafe for women.

One does not need to look at the statistics collected by the National Crime Records Bureau to agree that women in Delhi face high levels of violence – even a random scan of the daily newspapers is enough to support this statement. Women are certainly unsafe on Delhi streets, running the daily risk of harassment, attack, assault, rape and murder. On the other hand, they do not seem to be very safe at home either – official statistics show that, in Delhi as elsewhere, most crimes against women are committed by close relatives within the four walls of the home…

Not very safe after about 10pm. Delhi and NCR Region (Gurgaon, Noida, etc.) have a relatively high crime rate, when compared to other cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, etc. Avoid going out alone.

Ms. Sowmya Viswanathan and her friend lost their lives because under the Congress government, Delhi is highly safe for girls!

it's generally safe, but common sense applies - don't go out alone after 10pm in the night, esp. in dodgy localities... always carry mace/pen knife in bag etc.
