Shaafis say that their women are allowed to travel without a male mahram as long as they are in a company of women.

Answer

In a situation of peace and safety, A Shaafi' woman is allowed to travel in a group of pious ladies. She may not travel alone nor with a group of women who lack Taqwa. In today's scenario of danger, crime and immorality and non-observance of Hijaab even by the accompanying women, it is not permissible for even a Shaafi' woman to travel without a male mahram.
