If you feel something wrong, trust your instincts and take action to remove yourself from the situation.
Walk with purpose and confidence to avoid looking vulnerable, as attackers often target perceived weaknesses.
Shout or scream to alert others if you feel in danger. Learn simple techniques such as strikes to vital areas (eyes, nose, groin) to defend yourself if necessary.
Carry pepper sray, wistle, & flashlights for protection, and keep bags close to your body. Avoid carrying valuable jewellery.
Install smartphone Safety Apps that shares your location with loved ones or authorities, or trigger an emergency alert when needed.
