Here’s the stats as reported by Peace Corps Ghana for 2019.

Doing the math prob’ly around 125 Volunteers in-country, no idea how many women but nowadays I’d WAG 70, a lot more now than forty years back.

92-95% saying they felt “very safe or safe” where they lived or worked. Doesn’t exactly jive with the crime stats on the exit survey wherein about half the women had been groped at some point and about one in
twenty saying they had been raped (date rape??).

We only had a handful of women and it was a close group, we all knew each other pretty well, met up regularly in Peace Corps Accra and in Lome, Togo. Never heard of that back then.

As for the other crime stats, pretty much the way it was 40 years back.
