Your Guide to Interesting Facts About Women's Issues

Throughout all the history of humanity women frequently became victims of robbers and rapists. Nothing is different now – the times have changed, but the problem still remains. Numerous women become victims, and they are lucky not to be killed in such situations. That is why every woman needs to know how to protect herself against these criminals. Here are some practical tips which can save your life one day if you follow them:

• Be ready. This doesn’t mean that you have to be a paranoid. It has been proven that women who most thoroughly prepare themselves to the possible attack of a criminal and go in the streets shaking with fear and expecting the unpleasant encounter any second, become victims most often. They actually program themselves for being attacked, and we know from our own experience that our fears tend to materialize. This doesn’t mean that you don’t have to be prepared for an attack, this means you have to, but you really need to stay calm and confident.

• Scream. As soon as you understand that someone is intended to attack you, you have to strain your vocal cords to their maximum. Scream like you have never screamed before in your life. If you shout “help” it won’t possibly work because people simply don’t react to this and it is likely that no one will come to help. But if you produce an ear-piercing scream, the criminal can even run away being taken aback!

• Run. Don’t hesitate to run away as quickly as you can. I tell this because women often get so petrified that they can’t move. If you run and scream, you have all the chances to stay alive and save your purse.

• Fight. Use your nails, fists, feet and knees, you have to move as much as possible and scratch and punch every part of the criminal’s body you can reach. In spite of the disgust that women feel towards the offender, natural kindness on some genetic level often prevents them to be severe. Don’t feel pity for the person that is ready to kill you!

• Behave carefully. There are some situations when it is better not to move and behave calmly. For example, if the criminal puts a knife to your throat. In this case it is vital to let him know that you won’t panic or call for help, and just to give him all your money and valuables voluntarily. Yes, this sounds terribly unfair, but your life is above all the money in the world.

• Use self protection devices. It is very wise to have a pepper spray in the place when you can easily reach it. You can buy it in the weapon store; it is not expensive and requires no permission for use. Pepper spray applied on the face of the criminal will make him sneeze and cough for hours, and his eyes will be watering and burning. You won’t do any serious harm to the offender because pepper spray can be washed out with water, but you will have enough time to call the police and run away.
