Women go to the mosque for tarawih prayers in Ramadan. A foundation says don't go to tarawih without your mahram. Women do not go alone, neighbors go together. Can a woman go to tarawih without her man?

There is no private condition for a woman to go from one place to another in the city. There may be a security issue. When viewed from the religious aspect, woman or women can travel alone in the city, the mahram requirement must have been mispronounced or misunderstood. If it is a security threat, it is not a problem that can be solved with mahram anyway.
