Woman's Safety and her Security needed

Most of us gals have been in situations where let's just say, we would like to have had some heavy backup. I myself was close to being raped or worse that I know of at least three times. Once was interrupted by my present husband before we were married but another one no one was around but I had a strong dose of pepper spray that did the trick at the time.

These days I carry something a little more high-powered when I know I will be unattended. I won't get into more of my personal preferences but I am better prepared for trouble!

It is crucial for women to always be on guard against dangerous situations. Numerous women are raped, assaulted and murdered in the US every year. It is therefore imperative to remain vigilant otherwise you risk being listed among the grim statistics. Crime happens swiftly and mostly without warning. Lack of preparation is what differentiates the victors from the victims. Women are never supposed to let their guard down even in the face of impending peril. No matter your age, size or physique, you must be aware of how to avoid dangerous situations and defend yourself when the need arises.

One of the first safety precautions women should take is to notify someone of where they are headed to and for how long they will be there. Ensure it is someone who cares for you and will call to check if everything is alright. You must also be keen on what is taking place around you. Whether you are out clubbing or at the mall shopping, look around for any signs of danger. Criminals tend to strike when you think you are safe and comfortable. If you have suspicion that someone might be following you, head to a crowded area and ask a guard to escort you outside. It is also helpful to picture yourself in a dangerous situation. For instance, how would you react to mugging attempt? Would you scream, get rooted to the spot or start crying? Once you visualize a dangerous situation, figure out the best weapon you possess. If you have a good pair of lungs, scream your heart out. If you are well-built, defend yourself and if not, run like the wind. Attackers are normally on the lookout for easy pickings and if you display weakness, they will take advantage of it.

Surprise attacks can be the worst experiences for women. Nonetheless, there are ways of protecting yourself against rape or physical assault. First, try calling out a name of someone you know to make the assailant believe you may be with someone. Timing is of the essence when you are confronted by surprise. There is no right or wrong approach to this kind of attack. Anything you possess is a weapon, your purse, shoes, fingernails and teeth should all be utilized effectively. If the assailant has a weapon, be calm and do exactly as they say. Make them think they are in control so they can let their guard down.

Women are more often than not targeted by criminals than their male counterparts. This is based on the assumption that they are easy prey and rarely react fast enough. However, you must not let yourself be counted among the statistics. Always be vigilant and if possible, take self-defense classes for women. Always be alert and confident of your abilities even in the face of danger. There is an array of self defense products for women that are permissible by law. These gadgets can come in handy when you are confronted by unsavory characters anywhere.
