The tip on having the self defense weapon in your hand is important. One thing I might add is to " Walk the street like you belong there " or as a NYC taxi driver once told me " Walk the street like a lion". Don't show that you are afraid by nerviously looking over your shoulder. etc Good post. The tip on having the self defense weapon in your hand is important.

Many very good and important tips and advise are offered here by Jennifer and should be taken heed by all who walk the streets in every city both big and small. I do feel cell phones can be life saving as well as a distracting attractant to preditors and shoud be utylized with awareness but important to have available! I am not a huge proponent of outside sources to defend oneself such as pepper spray which can be overly depended on while forgetting about all of your physical availabilities that are so readily there to use..but I do teach resoursefulness of the moment which could mean utlyizing everything around you, and 'the kitchen sink' so to speak. Trusting your instincts and listening to them is critical and ignoring them is detrimental to our safety and well-being. Great advise from Jennifer to our safety mindedness as women in this crazy world..thanks! I am a Women’s Self Defense Instructor and have been teaching the program for 20 years.

Since rape is not a crime about sexuality (although it is a sex crime) and more of a domination crime, this will more than likely not deter your attacker.

My brother who is a police officer stresses this all the time. If you can't have pepper spray or a stun gun in your hand (as in you don't have one) a set of keys or a lollipop works well, too. As far as pepper spray goes, you should get some of the <a href="http://scottsafetyshop.com/store/nfoscomm/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=84">stuff that has blacklight die</a> in it. That way the police can more easily identify your attacker. Tip #3 is really important. My brother who is a police officer stresses this all the time.
