·Women are attacked in the grocery store parking lot more than any place else. However office parking lots, parking garages, and public restrooms are locations attackers also seek victims, in high numbers.

·Most attackers will grab the woman and move them to a secure location where they won’t be caught. Only 2% of attackers carry weapons, they usually use their own strength to overpower their victims. They look for a woman without protection.

Best practices:

·When walking from the office, your home, any parking area to your car – be aware of your surroundings (be vigilant) and undistracted. Ask someone to escort you. It is smart to carry pepper spray, personal alarm, or a TASER. Have them in your hand and ready to go. It is a must to practice with your personal security device of choice so you know how to handle it.

·Always look your attacker in the face; they are less likely to attack if they think you can identify them.

·Men usually have greater upper body strength; while women have lower body strength. Don’t be afraid to use it. Kick, elbow and punch. A kick or fist to the crotch might drop your attacker giving you time to escape.

·When someone is coming towards you make yourself look as big as you can, hold your hands out, yell stop, tell them you have pepper spray or a TASER. (It is a good idea to actually have them.)

·Don’t be afraid to make noise and fight back most attackers are looking for easy targets, not someone willing to make noise and put up a fight.

Review
