6 Safety Tips for Women
4. Think of the escape route
Always keep this in mind that screaming and escaping are your best defenses. Before trying to take on the attacker by yourself, or adhering to his order of getting into his car, etc., the best option is to run as fast as possible, scream your throat out, and throw anything you can get your hands on at him. Also, do not be so scared that you get petrified on the spot.
5. Have the right tool
Many girls and woman carry pepper-spray in their purse. Of course it is a witty thing to do, unless your attacker is immune to pepper-spray. Yes, there are several people who do not get affected by this tool. Also, it would be a waste of time for you to take out the spray from your purse, and surely your attacker would become aware of your intentions. Life isn’t like movies. So trust your body and wits. A kick to the groin is much more effective if your attacker is a man.
6. Know about cyber-crime
With the internet revolution, cyber-crime has become far more common a phenomenon than any other type of crime. Therefore, be very careful when using the internet. Do not use your real address or phone number in any public domain or social networking websites. Keep you and your family’s personal data as much a secret as possible, and do not reveal it to anyone with proper verification.
