Protect Yourself!

There are several ways you can protect yourself from physical assault:

  1. Be aware of your surroundings: Always be aware of your surroundings and avoid walking alone in dark or deserted areas. If possible, walk with someone else or in a group.

  2. Trust your instincts: If you feel that you are in danger, trust your instincts and take action. For example, if you are walking down the street and feel like someone is following you, cross the street or change direction.

  3. Learn self-defense: Taking self-defense classes can teach you how to protect yourself if you are physically attacked. This can include learning how to strike, grapple, or defend against weapons.

  4. Carry a personal alarm: A personal alarm can be a loud, attention-grabbing device that can alert others to your situation and deter attackers.

  5. Avoid confrontation: If someone is acting aggressively towards you, try to de-escalate the situation by staying calm and avoiding confrontation. If possible, remove yourself from the situation.

  6. Use technology: There are several apps and devices available that can help you stay safe. For example, you can use a safety app that sends an alert to your emergency contacts if you are in danger.

Remember, the best way to protect yourself from physical assault is to be proactive and take steps to avoid dangerous situations. If you are ever in danger, don't hesitate to call the police or seek help from others.
