It's all a matter of opinion and is different in every case. Women in abayas are just at risk of being followed, flashed or accosted.
There are some stunning arabic women walking round with beautifully made up faces and when they walk you can see their skyscraper high heels and skinny jeans. With some of the beautifully embroidered abayas, they can look really attractive! I think they would be MORE at risk then someone like me after a shift at the farm in ripped jeans and a t-shirt!
An abaya isn't an armoured shield - if anything I personally think it makes them look more vulnerable. There's a certain innocence in being so modest and a lot look like they wouldn't be able to fight back if anyone tried anything on with them. That's just a personal opinion though.
