Personal Safety Tips for Women

All Women have the responsibility to be prepared to defend ourselves if we are facing a situation that we are the target of an act of violence. It is also the responsibility of all women to insure that violent attacks, aggravated assaults, and rape to our sisters worldwide is not tolerated in today's society. Now there are many safe non-lethal personal protection products sold today that will allow women to protect themselves and their families, such as Tasers, Stun Devices, Pepper Spray, and Mace Defense Sprays.

There are also some things that can be done for your protection that will not cost you anything other than using your good judgment and intuition when making decisions. Here are some tips that will help you to remain safe and secure.

General Safety Tips: * Be sure that your personal protection product is handy

* If you feel or see a problem, do whatever you can to avoid a confrontation, change your route, cross the street, and if this fails prepare to defend yourself.

* Do not look like an easy target, look strong and confident-most fights are won before they start as most aggressors will back down if you maintain eye contact and are not intimidated by them.

* Do not hitchhike, always use the bus or take a taxi if you do not have transportation.

* Always carry a personal protection product with you at all times.

Being Safe While in Your Automobile:

* Always approach your vehicle with your keys in hand and ready.

* Check your vehicle before you enter.

* Getting in and out of, and walking to your vehicle should be considered danger areas.

* Do not leave you car unlocked even for the few minutes it takes you to run into the convenience store, attackers have been known to lay in wait for these opportunities.

* Windows and doors should be locked even while driving to prevent unwanted passengers at intersections and stop lights.

* Always remain alert when in parking lots or parking garages, and if you are concerned about going to your vehicle ask someone to escort you.

* Have your personal protection equipment within reach.

Safety while using public transportation services:

* When waiting on the bus or taxi to arrive wait in a coffee shop or a well lighted area.

* Choose an isle seat when possible to prevent being blocked in by a potential attacker.

* During the evening hours try and pick the train compartment that is carrying the most passengers. There is safety in numbers.

* If you are taking the bus try and get a seat behind the bus driver or near the exit door.

* Be sure that your personal protection product is readily available. . .

Walking/Jogging Safety:

* Be alert and aware of you surroundings, do not go places that seem to be dangerous.

* Do not assume that the area your in is safe because it has been safe in the past. Predators can be anywhere so be prepared.
