Prevention from sexual assault:
The woman should try to pay attention on her
daily activities in which she suspects for being

locations that is while driving, while walking
and at home.
While driving the female should check that there
is sufficient petrol in the tank. They should
park their vehicle in well lighted area. Drive
with all door locked. Never give lift to unknown
person. If they see some one in trouble doesn’t
stop your car. If they are being followed then
let their car through the police station.
While walking the female should try to stay in
well light area. Walk confidentially at a steady
pace facing the traffic. Wear that type of shoes
and clothes which will suitable for running. Don’t
walk alone at night.
While at home, if they are alone the make sure
that all the windows and doors are well locked.
Keep light to the entire home. When some one knocks
the door then first identify that person before
opening the door. Get to know your neighbors.
They can help you when you are in trouble.
Although when the girl is attacked, then they
should try to keep out from that trouble by keeping
hand amongst the attacker. If there is possible
help then try to achieve that. Be patience if
you loose your patience you will be assaulted.
Make a loud noise for help. Some times keep some
weapon for your prevention.
