The ONE simple practice that I would ask all women out there to implement is simple, keep your eyes open at all times and be aware! Not paranoid, but aware! For example: Don’t be talking on your phone with your head down oblivious to your surroundings, that makes you look like an EASY TARGET! In fact anytime you are out you shouldn’t be acting as though you are in the comfort of your own home. Be switched on! Know where you are and know who is looking at you. Don’t have your head down rummaging through your purse looking for your keys while you’re standing at your door, car, home, office, or otherwise! Don’t be an EASY TARGET! “Situational awareness and being aware of your surroundings” is a great start and simple enough to implement for keeping you and your loved one’s safe!
