Remember, although it is important to always pay attention to your surroundings and know how to protect yourself, rape is always the fault of the rapist, not the victim. This article does not want to defend the rapist's behavior in any way, but only provides some tips to make you feel more secure. In an ideal world, the best way to prevent potential sexual assault is to educate everyone, male and female, to respect others and help each other. However, knowing more information can also greatly help you avoid danger.

Part 1: clarifying the facts

1, know that being raped is not your fault, and nothing you can do can change it. Before preventing potential sexual assault, you must know that if you are raped, 100% is the rapist's fault; What caused you to be raped was not what you did, what you wore or what you said. There is no such thing as "you asked for it", and the person who makes you think so must be misleading you. Although you can of course take measures to avoid danger as much as possible, in the end, nothing you do will "cause" you to be raped.

2. The best way to prevent sexual assault is to stop people who have sexual assault. Now we can do many things to stop sexual assault, starting with changing women's values. If the whole society is committed to educating men to respect women and stop maintaining a culture of long-term materialization and discrimination against women, things will gradually begin to change. Sometimes, adolescent boys think it's funny to tell "rape jokes" and it's nothing to ridicule sexual assault. They must know that this is wrong. Men may also be raped, but the whole society thinks that men can't be raped, so if they say it, most men will feel ashamed and afraid. Many people think that instructing women what to do to stay safe is actually humiliating them and making them feel that avoiding rape means making women behave "correctly". If they make a mistake, being raped is basically their own fault. This is not the purpose of this article. This paper aims to provide some reasonable suggestions for women and tell them how to avoid danger, so as to improve women's self-protection ability. However, it is not only women who are raped. Men can also be raped, but it is not common. The public does not believe that "petite women" can rape "tall and strong men", but it will still happen.

Never stop your life. Reading advice on preventing sexual assault may put you under pressure. You will start to feel that no place is safe. The parking lot in the supermarket is unsafe, the bathroom in the bar is unsafe, your car is unsafe, and even your home is unsafe. You may start to wonder where you can completely avoid rapists. But you can't think like that. Although you should take some precautions, you should not be afraid to leave home alone, stay out late at night, or go to some places you like. You can still enjoy life and feel safe, instead of thinking often after knowing how to prevent sexual assault.

You should know that most rape cases are committed by people the victim knows. Statistics vary, but it is said that only 9%-33% of rapists don't know their victims at all. In other words, most women are raped by men they know, whether they are friends, dates, colleagues, acquaintances or even family members. This means that a person is more likely to be raped by someone he knows in a dark alley than a stranger. Therefore, although it is important to take precautions when you are alone, you can't completely relax your vigilance when you are with people you know. Be especially careful in social situations with people you know. Don't let your guard down completely unless you feel safe with this person. Even so, rape will still happen. Remember, if your intuition tells you something is wrong, you should leave safely as soon as possible.

Date rape is also common. According to a study, near 1? Three percent of rapes occur on the same date. When dating someone you just met, you should learn to refuse resolutely, and don't feel guilty because of anyone or because of your own wishes. If necessary, don't be afraid, speak your needs clearly and loudly.

Part two: Keep safe in social situations.

1, always pay attention to the surrounding environment. Parking lots and garages are the two most common places where attempted rape occurs. These people are predators, so watch your surroundings carefully. If you feel someone following you in the parking lot, start making noise, such as talking to yourself loudly, talking to imaginary people, or pretending to make a phone call. The louder the noise, the more likely predators are to stop their behavior. Observe the surrounding environment during the day. Whether you are going to a new place to work or a new school, make sure you know the safest route. This means staying in a well-lit place and walking in places where people often go. If your school has a blue-light emergency phone booth, you can even walk near them.

If you are in college, you should know that most rape cases occur in the first few weeks of school. According to the Ministry of Justice, most rape cases in universities occur in the first few weeks of freshmen and sophomores. The risk is the highest in this period, because people are just getting to know each other, surrounded by many new people and a lot of alcohol. Although this should not prevent you from having fun or leaving the dormitory, you should be extra careful when making new friends, and always stay with friends and keep a correct judgment.

Don't leave your sight to drink. Think of drinks as a bill of 100 yuan. Don't let anyone help you with your drinks. Don't eat anything that others give you. Things may be "disguised" Help yourself to the drinks. Help yourself. Cover the mouth of the drink cup with your hand, because it is easy for others to throw things into it. Don't drink drinks given to you by your date unless they are brought to you directly by the bartender or waiter. Even if you are sure that the drink left on the other side of the room is yours, just to be safe, take it away or buy another one.

4. Drink rationally. Again, this doesn't mean that the rapist is close to you, but it's your fault for drinking too much; But it does make you more vulnerable. Make sure you don't drink more than 1 cup per hour, that is, a glass of wine, beer or a glass of white wine, and try to control your body and mind. Don't drink inferior punch or jungle juice); At social gatherings; Don't ask anyone other than the bartender to make you a mixed drink, because it may be strong.

5. Stay with friends. Wherever you go, you have to go back with a group of friends. Even if you and your friends are in different places of the party, know where your friends are and make sure they can see where you are. Keep in touch with friends, make eye contact and keep in step. If they see that you don't want to be with someone, they should help you and you should do the same for them. Don't let friends go out alone with people you just met, especially when drinking.

6. Stay safe in nightclubs. It may be noisy in the club, and others may not hear your call for help. If you play in a nightclub, be sure to stay with your friends, go to the bathroom with several people, and let your friends know where you are at any time.

7. Be confident. If someone bothers you, tell them to go away. If someone sexually harasses you, there is no need to be polite. Tell that person firmly thank you, but no, you are not interested. If this person is someone you know and care about, it may be even harder to say so, but it is still possible. Once you say that, that person is likely to walk away.

8. Protect your privacy. Don't spread your information around or publish it online. At the same time, be careful when meeting netizens. There is no good reason for you to meet someone you have never met, or someone who keeps persuading you when you are hesitant. If you feel compelled to meet, bring someone else, preferably an elderly friend, and make an appointment with that person in a public place.

9. Keep your mobile phone fully charged. Don't go out with a dying mobile phone. This may be your lifeline. Maybe you need to call the police or ask your friends for help. Whether you are alone or with friends, you must charge your mobile phone before going out at night. If you always forget to charge, you can also get into the habit of taking out the charger.

Part III: Pay attention to safety when you are alone.

1. Be careful when you are outside. Don't stop enjoying life or doing what you like just because you are afraid of being raped or harassed. If you like running with a walkman, it doesn't matter, but you should be extra careful, always pay attention to your surroundings and run as close as possible to the crowd. If you walk in a dark garage or parking lot, focus on where you want to go instead of playing with the walkman or mobile phone all the time. Attackers will look for the weakest victims. Compared with sending messages all the time without looking at the road or indulging in new songs on the walkman, if they see that you are alert and walk with a purpose and direction, they are less likely to attack you.

2. Learn to trust your intuition. If you feel uncomfortable or uncertain, you'd better leave at once and ask for help. Use your intuition to tap your underlying instinct. If you are alone and suddenly meet or see someone who makes you feel unsafe, change your actions as soon as possible. If you really feel insecure, you must stay calm and act quickly, and go to a place where you are most likely to find others. If you walk on a dark street, you feel that the person behind you is following you, and cross the street diagonally to see if he or she has done the same. If so, walk to the middle of the street (but not too close to avoid being hit by a car), so that you can be seen by oncoming vehicles more easily and help you scare away potential attackers.

Don't cut your hair to avoid rapists. Indeed, many people will tell you that rapists like people with long hair or ponytails because they are easier to catch. Does this mean that you should cut your hair short so that others are less likely to rape you? Of course not. Unless you want short hair, don't let potential rapists stop you from becoming what you want, and don't blame yourself for attracting the wrong person.

4. Don't change your dress style to stop rapists. Well, many people will tell you that if the clothes you wear are easier to take off, or are easier to be "cut off" by scissors, then you are more likely to be raped. These include thin skirts, thin cotton skirts and other light and short clothes. They will say that it is best to wear overalls, jumpsuits and jumpsuits, and it is best to wear pants with zippers instead of elastic bands. They will also say that belts can fix clothes, and wearing several layers of clothes can stop rapists and so on. Although these may not be completely wrong, you don't have to wear heavy overalls, military boots or diving suits to prevent rape. Finally, you decide what you want to wear. You don't have to think that wearing light-colored clothes will make you "easier" to be raped. Some people will say that wearing provocative clothes will attract rapists. Try to avoid such anti-human thoughts.

Only when you know how to use defensive articles can you carry them with you. Remember, if you are not well trained and can't use any "weapons" well against potential attackers, they may be used by attackers against you. If you plan to carry a pistol, you must learn the course of using it, often practice at the shooting range, and apply for a hidden weapons permit. If you carry a knife, take a course to learn the most effective use. Remember, even an umbrella or wallet can be used as a weapon against attackers, who are less likely to attack you in turn.

6. Make a hullabaloo about and let others notice you. Attackers usually think about how to attack. Destroy their ideas. Resist like an angry cat and shout loudly and forcefully. You can also buy a small personal alarm key chain. Pulling the safety bolt will sound like a car alarm, which looks like a Grenade.

7. Loudly ask others to call 1 10 immediately or call the local police. Making a hullabaloo about has a double effect, which can scare off the attackers and make others notice you. If you shout these words, people near or beside you are likely to come and help you. Various studies have also mentioned this effective strategy: pointing to a bystander and saying, "this gentleman, the one in the white shirt, I need your help!" "This man is attacking me ..." He said, pointing to a man realistically. Some studies also point out that shouting "fire!" Instead of "help! Or, call 1 10! " Can attract the attention of onlookers more effectively. You can also try this strategy. But others think it will be more difficult to remember to call for fire instead of calling for help at that time.

8. Attend basic self-defense courses. You can take a course called rape attack defense. Contact the local police station to see if there are any similar courses. These courses can teach you many effective attack methods, from hitting people to gouging out their eyes. With these skills, you will feel more secure when you go home alone at night.

9. Learn the "four-point attack method". These four points refer to the solar plexus (abdomen), instep, nose and groin. If you are caught from behind, you should aim at these four points. Hit the abdomen with your elbow, stamp your back with all your strength, wait for them to let go, turn around and squeeze their noses up with your palms, and finally hit their groin with your knees. This will stop your attacker from moving for a while, enough for you to escape.

10, be alert and walk into the house. Don't dawdle in the car or stand on the street and rummage through your wallet. Take everything out of the car. Be careful when you walk into a house or car, because someone can easily push you in and lock the door. Pay attention to the surrounding environment; Hold the key in your hand and look around before opening the door.

1 1. When you walk, act as if you know where you are going. Hold your head high when you walk; Pretending that there are two big tigers walking beside you may sound a bit silly, but it helps to enhance your self-confidence. Attackers are more likely to attack those they think they can't protect themselves. If you look weak or are not sure where you are going, you are more likely to attract the attacker's attention. Even if you are really lost, don't show it when you walk.

12. Note, leave an identifiable mark. There are obvious bite marks on the face, injured eyeballs, deep scratches on the legs, torn perforations, etc. These are easy to identify and unforgettable tattoos. Think like a killer. Attack weak parts, such as eyes (jab), nose (push up with the lower part of the open palm) and genitals (hold it hard or slam it hard), so that the attacker's hand can't attack or catch you, and then you can take the opportunity to escape. If you can't escape from your place, pay attention to your surroundings and leave a mark on it if you can. The rapist was caught because the victim left recognizable marks, such as tooth marks, nail prints or DNA, in the violated car or room.

13. If you are followed by someone who may pose a potential threat to you, make eye contact with him. If they think you can recognize them clearly, the attacker is more likely not to attack you. Although you may be scared and don't want to do this at all, it can ensure your safety.

Part 4: Protecting the safety of others

1, don't be afraid to intervene. Defending others can greatly prevent potential rape. It's not so easy to get involved in an uncomfortable situation, but when you have a chance to stop the rape, it's worth enduring this embarrassment.

2. Pay attention to potential victims. For example, if you see someone trying to take action against your drunken friend at a party, walk over and let them know that you are watching him or her. Find an excuse to let yourself pass. "I brought you a bottle of water."

"Do you want to get some air?"

"Are you okay? Do you want me to accompany you? "

"I like this song! Let's go dancing. "

"My car is outside. Shall I drive you home? "

"Small qian! God, long time no see! How have you been recently? " This trick also works for strangers. Unless they are too drunk to understand, they will be happy to cooperate with you to get rid of this predator. )

3. Identify potential rapists. You may want to confront them or just distract them. "Don't touch her. She can't stand still. My friends and I will take her home. "

"Hey, he saidno. He's obviously not interested."

"Sorry, sir, your car was towed away."

If you need help in dealing with these situations, you must find someone to support you. The existence of a few people is enough to stop some people from trying to rape. Tell the party organizer or bartender what happened.

Call a few friends, such as your own friend or someone's friend at the party.

Contact campus security department, tell security or call the police.

5. create interference. If you don't know what else to do, stop the party. Turn off the lights or music. This can distract or embarrass the person who wants to rape, and at the same time make everyone notice that something is wrong.

6. Don't leave your friends at the party. If you go to a party with a friend, don't leave him or her alone when you are ready to leave. Leaving a person alone, especially with a group of new acquaintances or strangers, will put him at a disadvantage. Especially when there is alcohol or drugs at the party. Before you leave, find your friend and see how she is. Don't leave unless you are sure it is safe and she can go home by herself.

If your friend looks drunk or about to get drunk, see if you can persuade her to go home. If she refuses, stay at the party until she is ready to leave.

7. Establish a partnership system to ensure everyone gets home safely. It is a good way for friends to protect each other by taking simple preventive measures, such as sending messages to each other when they get home. For example, suppose you and your friend stay in a coffee shop until late at night, and your friend comes home by bike in the dark, and then you text or call each other when you get home. If you haven't heard from your friends or called, see what happened.

8. If you know someone is a rapist, say it. If your friend wants to date someone and you know that this person is a rapist, the correct way is to say so. Whether there is a rumor that that person raped someone or you have first-hand information about it, you certainly don't want this person to hurt others. If you have been assaulted by this person yourself, it is up to you to decide whether to "expose" the rapist. This is undoubtedly a very brave act, but your decision will have a profound impact on your life, so it is not a decision that ordinary people can easily make.

However, even if you don't want to go public, warning someone you know not to be alone with that person can help prevent potential rape.

9. Do your part to get rid of the rape culture. This is important for women, but it may be more important for men. Preventing potential rape ultimately requires people to educate and oppose rape. Even if you are alone with a few boys, don't say anything demeaning to women, and don't make jokes about rape. When men see that other men sympathize with women, they are more likely to do so themselves.

Tip: Remember to improvise. Whatever you have, you can use it as a weapon, such as high heels or keys.

Don't underestimate your ability. The human body can exert amazing power in this situation. Once adrenaline surges, as long as you are not too scared to move, you will be surprised at your ability.

Rape can happen to anyone at any time. The target chosen by rapists has nothing to do with age, social class or race. The research data clearly shows that a person's dress or behavior will not affect the rapist's choice of victims. His or her decision is based on how easily he or she thinks the target is threatened. Rapists will look for targets that can be easily attacked. Statistical data come from various sources, including the American Rape Research (1992), the National Center for Victims, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Crime Survey.

Your instinct can save lives. Pay attention to instinct. It is like radar, which can prevent serious problems. If there are hints that anyone or the environment is in danger, don't ignore them.

A rapist doesn't necessarily look like a criminal. This person may look normal, neatly dressed, strong, young and so on. They may not look like bad people, but they may be your boss, teacher, neighbor, boyfriend and girlfriend or relatives.

The simple goal is a straight line. Eyes, nose, mouth, throat, abdomen, chest (if female), stomach, groin, knees and instep.

Whenever possible, hit the male attacker's crotch or groin with his knee, so that he can temporarily lose his mobility and buy himself some precious time to escape quickly.

If you see a bus, try to get on it. Even if you have no money, there are regulations (at least in Britain) that drivers are obliged to let you get on the bus immediately in case of danger or discomfort.

In fact, due to the increase of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the trauma of psychological boundary, the probability of children becoming victims of sexual assault is almost twice that of adults (Parillo et al., 2003), (Sarkar, n; ; Sacquard River.

Leave your things on it for later identification, such as a jewel, a handkerchief or anything that belongs to you. It would be better if you could leave as many scratches, bites, bruises or saliva as possible (although it's a little disgusting).

Some interventions, such as counseling for mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder and counseling for abuse-related addiction, can help those who were sexually assaulted in childhood avoid becoming victims again in adulthood. (Parillo et al., 2003).

Other factors that can affect post-traumatic recovery are emotional support of friends, various social relationships, social and community support, and religious beliefs or scriptures (Sarkar, n; ; Sacquard River.

Scream. Shout it out as if there is no tomorrow. If possible, shout into their ears, which will make them temporarily deaf. Unless they use weapons against you, if they tell you not to scream, ignore them. Shouting "rape!" Or something like "Call the police, I was raped!" In that case.

When you are at home, be careful not to let strangers in. If it's a handyman, a cable repairer and so on. Tell them you want to see their photos, ID cards and trucks. Don't let them in if you can't trust them at once. If they don't look you in the eye, don't have photo recognition, don't have a truck with a company name, or don't wear a uniform, this behavior is suspicious. Ask them to call the company while waiting outside, and then ask the company to call you or you can call the company.

Education against gender violence is the key to prevention. The following are some educational programs aimed at preventing sexual assault by educating teenagers. The project "Teaching Boys to Be Men" is a good example. Here are also some self-defense skills.

Be careful when you go out alone at night. If you happen to go out at night, make sure that the place you want to go is full of light and people, and there is at least one person on the main street. The mobile phone is in your hand and you can make a phone call at any time; Meanwhile, if you have a key, it can be used as a weapon in the other hand.

Be careful when you leave a party, concert, etc. Predators usually wait until the activity is over, because it is already late at night, and potential victims may be vulnerable.

If you feel unsafe in public, you can walk to a shop with big windows, because there are more likely to be cameras there. You can also look through the window to see if there is anyone behind you.

Remember that you have no obligation to be friendly to strangers. They may be potential attackers. Don't think it is impolite that you don't communicate with them.

Find a sports equipment consultant and learn self-defense tools that suit you and are not so deadly.

If you want to travel alone, you can tell others what you will do, where you will go and when you will come back. It is also useful to tell them what you wear and what means of transportation you use. If something happens, this information can help the police find you.

If you think someone is following you, tell a trusted adult, such as parents, teachers, etc. They will help you.

When you are outside, especially at night, look up and look around. Try not to wear headphones and don't be too distracted. Rapists are more likely to attack you if they think they can catch you when you are not looking.

Shout loudly, kick hard and hit hard. If you are attacked in a crowded place, you will be noticed by everyone.

If you think the car is unsafe, lock the door. An attacker can sneak up on you, open the door, get into the car or drag you out. If there is a truck or off-road vehicle parked on one side of the cab, you can get on the bus from the passenger seat, so that your back will not be turned to the car.

Your elbow is very strong. If they catch you, fight with your strong body (elbow, knee).

Warning: obey the gun laws in your area.

This car should have oil. Be practical and don't take risks. If you know that you are about to start a long journey, you must remember the gasoline number and stop to refuel many times.

If you choose to own and use guns, you should know that guns are very dangerous, especially if they are used and kept improperly. Use the trigger locking mechanism to ensure that your gun will not be used against yourself or accidentally hurt yourself. This is especially important if there are children at home. Learn how to clean and maintain guns correctly to ensure that there is no problem when using them.

If you have a gun, you only have half a second to analyze the situation before shooting. Any time a gun is taken out or used, it constitutes a serious attack. If the police, the prosecutor or the court think that you used a deadly weapon improperly, you will face severe trial and imprisonment. They will judge your decision in half a second in a few days.

Don't wave your gun. If you don't plan to shoot someone without a good reason, don't take out your gun (assuming you can legally hold hidden weapons). The police have the right to hurt the suspect, or they can threaten to raise their guns and not shoot immediately. You have no right. The police can't back down. You can retire if you can.

In fact, shooting an unarmed attacker may put you in a more dangerous situation than rape (prison is a dangerous place). Only when your life is at stake or you are seriously injured can you use a gun against others. Although rape is emotionally harmful, it is rarely life-threatening. The data shows that less than one in ten thousand cases of rape and attempted rape leads to the death of the victim. These rape and murder cases caused a sensation and became news, but they were not representative.

Be careful when accusing the victim and deifying the rapist. The only person responsible for the attack is the attacker. If you are attacked, no matter what you did or didn't do, it is not your fault under any circumstances.
