Personal Protection
- Always be alert and aware of your surroundings at all times.
- Always walk in well-lit areas and walk assertively.
- Avoid dark streets and areas.
- Don't fill your arms with packages always keep an arm and one hand free whenever possible.
- If you are attacked - talk with the attacker to show sympathy, deal with him/her as a person; force the attacker to see you as a person and not an object. If anything you do or say makes the attacker more violent - stop doing it!
- As a last resort you may use physical resistance. Without warning strike the groin, eyes, or the Adam's apple of attacker. Don't try to defeat the attacker - just break free and run! Scream and yell "FIRE" instead of help.
- Always lock the doors when you leave the house and when you return.
