  • Always be aware of yoursurroundings.

  • Stay in well-lit areas asmuch as possible.

  • Walk confidently, directly,at a steady pace. A rapist looks for someone who appears vulnerable.

  • Walk on the side of thestreet facing traffic.

  • Walk close to the curb.Avoid doorways, bushes and alleys where rapists can hide.

  • If you think you are beingfollowed, walk quickly to areas where there are people and lights. If a carappears to be following you, turn and walk in the opposite direction or walk onthe other side of the street.

  • Be careful when people stopyou for directions or money. Always reply from a distance and never get tooclose to the car.

  • If you are in trouble orfeel you are in danger, don't be afraid to attract help any way you can.Scream, yell or run away to safety.

  • Always lock your car. Keepyour car locked when you are away from it to keep someone from hiding andwaiting inside.

  • When you are inside thecar, lock the doors for safety.

  • Look inside and around yourcar before you get in.

  • Be aware of other people inparking areas, especially those close to your vehicle.

  • If you think you are beingfollowed, drive to a public place or a police station to get help.

  • If your car breaks down,open the hood or attach a white cloth to the antenna. If someone stops to help,stay inside your locked vehicle and ask them to call the police.

  • If you choose to carry anytype of weapon for self-protection, give careful consideration to your abilityand willingness to use it. Remember there is always the chance that it could betaken away and used
