Think about the four most important women in your life. It may be hard to believe, but statistics show that one in four women will be raped in her lifetime.
Now, think about the 33 most important men in your life. Men, just as easily as women, can be raped. Okay, so the statistics are not as high for men (1 out of 33) as it is for women, but it is still possible.
So, how can we fight these scary statistics?
Well, the only way to completely diminish rape is for attackers to stop attacking.
Because that will not happen any time soon, I have compiled a list of ways to fend of predators:
1. Go places, especially at night, in groups of 2 or more—attackers are looking for a person who is alone.
2. Buy a can of pepper spray.
3. Invest in a loud whistle key chain.
4. Do not accompany a stranger to a desolate location
5. Enroll in some Karate lessons and wear your black belt every where you go. (well, maybe the second part isn’t necessary, but attackers would definitely stay away from you if you did!)
How would you defend yourself from a predator?
