Let’s be honest, it isn’t easy being a woman in the 21st century… Sure, there are so many fun distractions, like getting your hair done or buying a new dress, but let’s not ignore the giant pink elephant in the room. More so than men, women need to know how to protect themselves when alone in public. Self-defense is no joke and is often rather intimidating for people to even think about, so we have devised manageable ways for women to protect themselves when they feel they need extra security.
#1: Change Things Up
In the journey towards women’s safety, one vital tip stands out: shake up your routine. We all have our comfort zones, the well-worn paths we follow day in and day out. But by breaking free from these habits, we reclaim our power. We’ve all felt that sense of vulnerability when our routines become predictable…
So, let’s challenge ourselves to leave at different times, take new routes, and keep potential threats guessing. By embracing change, we create a shield of unpredictability that empowers us and ensures our safety. Unfortunately, it’s up to us women to ensure we feel safe in our surroundings.
