(I came across this write up in my Facebook and I thought I have to share it on my blog so
that as many girls can see it and can stay alert. Please care to share it)
1) What should a woman do if she finds herself alone in the company of a strange
male as she prepares to enter a lift in a high-rise apartment late at night?
Experts Say: Enter the lift. If you need to reach the 13th floor, press all the buttons up to
your destination. No one will dare attack you in a lift that stops on every floor.
2) What to do if a stranger tries to attack you when you are alone in your house, run into
the kitchen.
Experts Say: You alone know where the chili powder and turmeric are kept.And where the
knives and plates are. All these can be turned into deadly weapons. If nothing else, start
throwing plates and utensils all over.Let them break. Scream. Remember that noise is the
greatest enemy of a molester. He does not want to be caught.
3) Taking an Auto or Taxi at Night.
Experts Say: Before getting into an auto at night, note down its registration number. Then
use the mobile to call your family or friend and pass on the details to them in the language
the driver understands .Even if no one answers your call, pretend you are in a conversation.
The driver now knows someone has his details and he will be in serious trouble if anything
goes wrong. He is now bound to take you home safe and sound. A potential attacker is now
your de facto protector!
4)What if the driver turns into a street he is not supposed to - and you feel you are
entering a danger zone?
Experts Say: Use the handle of your purse or your stole (dupatta) to wrap around his neck
and pull him back. Within seconds, he will feel choked and helpless. In case you don’t have
a purse or stole just pull him back by his collar. The top button of his shirt would then do
the same trick.
5) If you are stalked at night.
Expert Say: enter a shop or a house and explain your predicament. If it is night and shops
are not open, go inside an ATM box. ATM centers always have security guards. They are
also monitored by close circuit television.Fearing identification, no one will dare attack you.
After all, being mentally alert is the greatest weapon you can ever have.Please spread it to
all those women u care & spread awareness as dis is d least we can do for a social & moral
cause and fr d safety of women.
