self defense
AWARE or Arming Women against Rape and Endangerment is a site solely dedicated to helping women to understand self defense. AWARE is completely non-profit and even provides you with information about other women in similar situations.
AWSDA or Association for Women Self Defense Advancement is an international group. They hold seminars on ways of preventing abuse or rape and even have centers for victims. They also keep women up to date with not only techniques but laws that deal in these areas.
stop! look! listen!
Self-defense is protecting yourself from harm, by any means necessary. This ranges from using preventative measures to using a weapon. Within this range are several things that can be done to keep yourself safe. Let’s start with prevention.
The first line of defense in this “war ground” we call our every day life is trying to prevent bad things from happening. Awareness is the key. Remember this warning; stop, look and listen. To be safe we need to be aware of our surroundings. This applies not only if you are walking down a dark, deserted street, (…although I have no idea why you would do that!) but to any situation. It doesn’t matter if you are at home, in your car, on the job or just out for some fun. Always be aware of who is nearby, where are the exits, what are your surroundings. Stop. Take a look around. Listen for any danger signs.

1. Take security precautions. Be sure doors and windows have good locks. Make sure doors and windows are not easily accessible to unwanted entrants.
2. Use proper lighting. Have various lights on sensors and timers to make it seem as though someone is home even if you’ve gone away. Have outdoor lighting.
3. Clear shrubs and other large plants away from your house or around your driveway so that there are not areas where someone could conceal himself.
4. Don’t open the door to strangers.
5. Have neighbors be on the watch, especially if you plan to take a vacation.
6. Have emergency telephone numbers available… just memorize them!
7. Plan ahead. Rehearse some possible situations and think about how you would react, what you would do.
1. Use common sense. Don’t put yourself in a vulnerable position or place. If it doesn’t look safe, don’t go there. If you don’t know the person, don’t go to an isolated place with him or her.
2. Keep car doors locked. Just being stopped at a traffic light gives a person time to hop in your car and do you harm.
3. Listen to your inner-voice. If you feel uneasy, change your plans. This just might help you to avoid a potentially dangerous situation.
Here are some awareness tips to remember:
