Any woman can find herself in a situation where she is concerned about her safety. We feel that every woman has the right to feel safe in her own environment. We offer these suggestions on how to stay safe and how to survive if attacked.
1. ALWAYS BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS: Predators are always looking for an opportunity to strike. If you're walking alone talking on your phone or texting, you may not notice that you're being followed. Two of the factors most predators consider when choosing a victim are surprise and anonymity.
• Surprise - They want to surprise their victims in order to quickly overpower or disable them.
• Anonymity - A predator not only wants what you have, but he also wants to escape and not be captured. To do that he must remain anonymous.
If he sees you looking down, avoiding eye contact with people you pass, he may think that you are afraid and unable to defend yourself. By making eye contact with people you pass, he realizes that you will be difficult to surprise if he does decide to attack. He will also worry that because you looked at him, you may be able to describe him for the police. At that point, he knows it's better to choose another victim.
2. ALWAYS BE READY TO DEFEND YOURSELF: For some this may seem easier said, than done. But it's not that complicated. If you're aware of your surroundings, then most likely you will know when you need to dial up your alertness. Most of us have heard someone describe having "the feeling that something was wrong." That feeling (intuition) is real and chances are you've felt it yourself. You just have to act on that feeling. So how can you prepare?
• Carry a Pepper Spray and be ready to run.
• Carry a Stun Gun and be ready to run.
• Be ready to run.
• Learn some basic Defensive Tactics.
In case you're wondering, unless you're well trained in defensive tactics, you practice frequently, are both mentally as well a physically prepared to repel an REAL ATTACKER, your BEST DEFENSE is always to run for help.
Police use pepper spray, tasers and stun guns to temporarily disable violent suspects, so that they may be further subdued and handcuffed. For your purposes, temporarily disabling an attacker with pepper spray, a taser or a stun gun allows you time to put distance between you and him. Remember pepper spray, tasers and stun guns do you no good if you have to fumble through your purse to find them. Have them ready!!
