LOVE - General precautions to prevent rapes |
| |
God
blessed us with common sense and presence of
mind to protect us from all dangers including
sexual assaults and rapes. First of all we should have
sense in our dressing and behavior.
A woman or girl dresses half - naked or unusually tight
dress or with see through dress material may give an
impression that "I am available to any man that
needs me". Similarly some awkward actions,
walking style, hair style and wearing ultra modern fashion
accessories also attract or fascinate rapist.
Despite all this, if a person is ever raped, the responsibility
ALWAYS lies with the aggressor, not the victim!
-
Be
cautious, watchful and use your instinct or God-given
intuition judiciously and it will get you a long
way in preventing rape.
-
Remember
most rapes (85%) are committed by non-strangers
and in familiar, social situations in the places
where the victims were alone or isolated.
-
Special
care should be taken while attending parties / dating.
Tell your parents or close friends where you are
going. Totally avoid use of liquors and
drugs. Keep enough money with you to meet emergency.
-
Should
be vigil even in your home or in your car, if you
are alone, all doors should be carefully closed
and locked.
-
Don’t hesitate to say “NO” a big
“NO” when a person behaving against
your interest. Does not yield or wait. Say instantly
“NO”.
-
If someone is approaching towards you with bad intention,
hold out your hands in front of and shout “STOP
or STAY BACK”.

-
Don’t
allow any body to touch your body. No one has the
right to touch you without your permission.
-
In uncontrollable situations do not be shy to yell
or scream for help or call attention to yourself.
Carrying a whistle makes a loud enough noise to
alert others.
-
Take self-defense. Fight back with
any thing at your disposal. Always
keep self-defense items such as pepper
sprays, stun guns, personal alarms, and electric
stick etc. Pepper spray is convenient and
handy. Take the fully charged mobile phone with
you and keep it in an easy accessible position to
call for help.
-
If you have any opportunity to escape, don’t
try to fight. Don’t hesitate to run away..!
Remember, an ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure.
