Yes, Sikhism and Sikh Gurus advocate for gender equality, affirming that women have equal rights and are not restricted from traveling alone.
Gurbani nowhere say men and women are equal. Both are complementary to each other. Hence, we have to respect them as much as a man wants. Both have qualities as well as limitations, which are helpful in making a complete family system.

Guru Amar Das Sahib established 22 preaching centres. Some were controlled by women. There is no distinction between men and women as far as Guru Granth Sahib is concerned. We need to improve our social system where ever such disparity exists.
Please go through the Sikh History. Many ladies have fought in the war against the traitors who have come to attack on them. In Sikhi ladies also carry Kirpan which is meant for self defence.

Do Sikhism and Sikh Gurus allow women to travel alone? Is this yes or no?
There is neither any separate rule for men nor for women. Both cases one has to access the situation and then decide accordingly.
