Sexual Assault

* Prevent walking were assailants can hide, like bushes, alleys or doorways.
* Wear not revealing clothing in common places as it will make sure that you attract plenty of attention, including attention from those people with bad intent. Be discrete and leave provocative wear to those times when you can taste the intimacy of your partner.
* Do not drink excess amounts of alcohol. Don’t intake mind altering drugs and leaving ANY food or drink unattended where it may be tampered with is a recipe for disaster.
* Drive your motor vehicle in a right manner. No one appreciates cruel hand signals. Forget not - eventually you have to stop, if you are refueling. Psycho cases may follow you for several miles “just to educate you a lesson” - all since you made yourself a aim to their twisted minds.



Here are some guidelines you should follow to help prevent a sexual assault.



* If you feel you caught in danger or required assistance, attract people in any way you can. Scream wildly. If you have a self-defense weapon like Mace, pepper spray or a stun gun, use it and run.
* If someone asks you directions or anything else, reply to them from a distance. Don’t get closer.
* If you feel a car is annexing you, turn around and take the opposite direction or on the other side of the street.
* If you live alone ensure that all your mail is addressed just by your first initial followed by your surname. Do not let mail to be addressed to you with salutations like Miss, Mrs., and Ms. or with your Christian or given name. Those documents and parcels pass through many eyes before they come to you. Change it. Make them nondescript as to your sex and marital status. Why let anybody even one extra bit of information about you?
* If your car breaks down, open the hood and stick a white cloth to the antenna and get into your car and lock the doors. If anyone stops to assist, be in your car with the doors locked and ask them to call the police.
* In any place you should often be aware of your surroundings.
* Several sexual acts are committed by people who the victims knew - or, at least, thought they knew! Move friendly and polite by all means but be vigilant for tell-tale signs of “strange” behavior. Do NOT flirt. Be firm about any waste attention, specifically in the work place.
* NEVER take up hitch-hikers and ABSOLUTELY NEVER hitch-hike yourself.
* Do not walk alone at night or at any time in prohibited areas. Predators hide in these locations. Ignore them.
* Rape and other sexual assault are always increasing. In the event of the worst outcome gouge your attacker’s cheek using your fingernails. It marks him for identification and you will get DNA under your nails.
* Sexual attack is commonly preceded by some visual sign, which is generally preceded by some verbal reach before the physical action. Recognize the sequence: the look - the talk - the attack.
* Believe your instincts. Women are most intuitive. If you feel a situation might be dangerous then it probably is. That small guardian angel should be believed rather than avoided.
* Walk on the street facing traffic side and confidently at a steady pace.

While walking towards your car, be ready to unlock the door. Before you get in your car look inside to make sure no one is hiding inside.
