1) What should a woman do if she
finds herself alone in the company of a strange male as she prepares to enter
a lift in a high-rise apartment late at night?
Experts Say: Enter the lift. If you need to
reach the 13th floor, press all the buttons up to your destination. No one
will dare attack you in a lift that stops on every floor.
2) What to do if a stranger tries
to attack you when you are alone in your house, run into the kitchen.
Experts Say: You alone know where the chili
powder and turmeric are kept. And where the knives and plates are. All these
can be turned into deadly weapons. If nothing else, start throwing plates and
utensils all over. Let them break. Scream. Remember that noise is the
greatest enemy of a molester. He does not want to be caught.
3} Taking an Auto or Taxi at Night.
Experts Say: Before getting into an auto at
night, note down its registration number. Then use the mobile to call your
family or friend and pass on the details to them in the language the driver
understands .Even if no one answers your call, pretend you are in a conversation.
The driver now knows someone has his details and he will be in serious
trouble if anything goes wrong. He is now bound to take you home safe and
sound. A potential attacker is now your de facto protector!
4} What if the driver turns into a
street he is not supposed to - and you feel you are entering a danger zone?
Experts Say: Use the handle of your purse or
your stole (dupatta) to wrap around his neck and pull him back. Within
seconds, he will feel choked and helpless. In case you don't have a purse or
stole just pull him back by his collar. The top button of his shirt would
then do the same trick.
5} If you are
stalked at night.
Expert Say: enter a shop or a house and
explain your predicament. If it is night and shops are not open, go inside an
ATM box. ATM centers always have security guards. They are also monitored by
close circuit television.
Fearing identification, no one will
dare attack you.
After all, being mentally alert is
the greatest weapon you can ever have.
