Don't Look Like A Victim

A key self defense tip to avoid being attacked is to not look like a victim. An attacker looking for the next victim, is looking for someone who can be easily overpowered and won't draw attention to the what is happening. Do not appear easily intimidated or frightened. Instead, let everyone know that you are a confident person and walk with a sense of purpose. In addition, if you are walking to your car, have your keys out and ready instead of fumbling through your purse or pockets trying to find them. Show everyone that you are assured and prepared so that hopefully, a would-be attacker will look for an easier target.
