Rape or sexual assault is becoming a very lamentable social issue. Every day we hear such news on media and they make me feel terrible. I have written this article to help girls and ladies out there to reduce the risk of experiencing a sexual assault.
First of all I would like all of you to know:
- Rape is experienced by the victims as an act of violence.
- It is a life-threatening experience.
- Sexual attraction, power, control and anger are the primary motives.
Most Rapists Have A Sexual Partner
- Gratification comes from gaining power and control and discharging anger.
- This gratification is only temporary, so the rapist seeks another victim.
- A rapist can be anyone: doctor, policeman, clergyman, social worker or corporate president.
- Rape can and does occur anytime and at anyplace. Many rapes occur during the day and at the victims’ homes.
- Rape is the responsibility of the rapist ALONE.
Following are the steps that you can take if you are at risk of an assault:
1. If You Have To Go Out
2. In a Party or Crowded Festivals/Carnivals
3. Taking Lift/ Elevator With a Stranger
4. Taking a Taxi at Night
5. At Home
6. If The Predator Has Got You
7. SING
And last but not the least: Expert says when everything fails, try ‘SING’
So, these were some ideas that can protect you against such an assault.
STAY SAFE!
