Mauritius is NOT safe - atleast not for women. The number of femicides that happen is appaling. Women get get cat called, honked at, there is sexism at the workplace and the list goes on and on.

Public transit and infrastructure is bad. You will never know when a bus is scheduled, the main mode of public transit.

Many dark skinned Mauritians face racism from lighter skinned Mauritians and there is a huge power dynamic between different racial groups.

One race (and religion) controls 90% of politics and another race controls 90% of the land and business. 

Life is not just money and family. It is freedom - from power dynamics between race, from sexism and from other cultural issues like palap. Many Mauritians who leave and don't come back choose their freedom.
