Sexual Assault
1. Use initials instead of first names on mail boxes and phone listings.
2. Never admit on the telephone or at the door that you are alone.
3. It is risky to accept a ride home from someone you have just met.
4. If you decide to physically resist assault, remember that your goal is to incapacitate the attacker long enough to run to safety and get help. For this purpose PEPPER SPRAY is a potent lawful weapon, keep one in your purse at all times.
5. If you have been a victim of sexual assault, call the police immediately. Do not bathe or change clothes or you may destroy evidence.
6. Always Keep *YOUR AREA STD CODE 100* Stored In Your Mobile/Cell Phone For Ready Use.
2. Always think ahead. For example, when traveling at night, have your keys ready to enter the house or start the car.
3. If your vehicle is being followed, drive in to the nearest Police Station.
4. If you are confronted by a robber, the best advice is to cooperate.
5. If you resist, there is a greater chance that you may be hurt.

2. When you carry a purse hold it close to your body rather than by the handles. Do not wrap the purse around your wrist, because you can get hurt in a struggle.
3. Carry only what you need in a purse or wallet, not everything you have.
4. Avoid using shortcuts through dark alleys, fields or vacant lots.
5. If you think you’re being followed, cross the street and change directions a few times. Go quickly to a well-lighted place with lots of people. Do not go home. You don’t want an attacker to know where you live.
6. Never confront anybody who you think is trying to follow you as you will be giving him an opportunity to come close to you physically. Always keep PEPPER SPRAY handy for emergency use.
7. Whenever using CELL/MOBILE PHONE IN PUBLIC PLACES ensure that nobody is overhearing your conversation as it can be misused by strangers against you and your near & dear ones.
8. Always Keep *YOUR AREA STD CODE 100* Stored In Your Mobile/Cell Phone For Ready Use.
