Safety Tips and Self-Defense Against Rape

The best defenses against rape take no training. They are:

• If you feel uneasy about someone, don't let them isolate you.
• Make a scene if you must.
• Get to where other people are.
• Use your viewer to see who is outside before you open the door.
• Never let someone in if you feel uneasy about them.
• Teach your children not to let others come into your home without your permission.
• If someone wants to use the phone you can take the number and make the phone call for them.
