What can a woman do to reduce her risk of assault?


There are several ways a woman can do to reduce her risk of assault. Never walk alone, this makes you more vulnerable to assault. Do not walk alone especially at night if you are in unknown area. If you have to walk alone be always aware of your surroundings. Do not be afraid to carry a concealed weapon or pepper spray. There are many classes of self-defense for women available. Parents or a mature friend should always know your whereabouts. My parents always told me to go to a party with a friend never alone or if I didn’t have anybody to go with they could always take me to the party and pick me up after. At a party be aware of who gives you a drink. There are many date rape drugs out there that are not detectable by the eye if dropped in your drink. Try to keep alcoholic beverages to a minimum since this can affect your perception when in a dangerous situation. Many guys will try to take advantage of a woman that appears to be intoxicated. If you sense threat immediately seek help to prevent anything misfortunes.
