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.
