The biggest misconception women have is that they are not strong enough to protect themselves from an attack. Men may be physically stronger, however, strength is much more than just physical capability. Women can protect themselves in a number of ways by building their mental strength and confidence.

Therefore, we would like to advise and encourage women to learn the “ways of the woman warrior”. They should learn to win by outsmarting the attacker/s.

Following are a few simple ways of thwarting a potential threat:

Put up a verbal boundary: If someone is approaching you aggressively, hold out your hands in front of you and in a strong, assertive voice, yell “Stay Back!” or “Stop!” Most aggressors would leave a woman alone if they felt she was not afraid to fight back.

Know your safety props: Always keep a can of pepper spray handy. Just the act of aiming it at
a potential attacker and yelling, “I have pepper spray!” can serve as a deterrent. If you don’t have pepper spray, even a perfume bottle or an aerosol deodorant can be effective.

Knowing how to use these devices also plays a huge role in your protection. You must be familiar with the working of the device. To be comfortable with it you must practice, practice and practice.
