Highlights

The number of sexual assaults and atrocities against women in India has only been escalating, needless to say, at an alarming rate. There seems to be no place left in India, or in the World safe for women. They are now left, with no choice but not to trust anyone, making it imperative for them to be fully prepped up to face any eventuality and to avoid getting raped, murdered or assaulted. Being a woman in this country made of savage beasts is nothing less than a fire challenge. It is high time we, woman stand up for ourselves and rebel to bear the brunt of failed systems and negligent authorities. Gandhi said “be the change you wish to see”, bring the change, learn to fight, rebel and protest against all atrocities. Be an inspiration to the weaker, be inspired by the strong. Stand up against what is wrong.

1)Trust your instincts
It is commonly believed that a woman’s Sixth Sense is sharper and turns out right in most of the cases. A woman’s sixth sense can be her asset and can play an important role against taking chances. Women should follow their gut feeling and go by their instinct to avoid any unwanted impending encounters.

2)Awareness
More important than training in martial arts is being aware of self, surroundings and guessable attackers plans. Research says, most of the times it is women who are unaware of their surroundings who are targeted by criminals.
3)Escape
First point to avoid any attacks is finding out an escape route. If all escape routes are closed then one should prepare for attack.
4)Martial Arts
Getting trained in self defense techniques is a good idea. Elementary training in any self defense art is obligatory.
Choosing training programs that include simulated attacks which train women when actual attack happens is advisable.
5)Right to Fight
Women should have a self belief that they have every right to fight in any form.
6)Pepper Spray
pepper spray is a good option for self defense. However it does not work on everyone. It is advisable to depend less on self defense tools or weapons like such but to trust one’s own physical strength, body and wits.
7)Prevent carjacking
Women should prevent carjacking by locking all doors and raising windows while driving. Criminals generally approach at 45 degree angle which is a blind spot to pull women from the driver's seat or get into the car.
8)During Travel Trip
Atrocities against women happen even in the world's best hotels. Women find themselves trapped if it is the hotel staff. Carry a door wedge or try avoiding closing the doors when room service is in.
9)Cyber Safety
Using nickname is better during any online communication. Unless mandatory any personal information should not be declared.
