What can a woman do to reduce her risk of assault?

A man can be a bodyguard to a woman but it’s not always possible for every man to safeguard their women and children all the time. As long as the perception of the people cannot be changed through education, women need protection against the perpetrators. This can be achieved in many ways one of the ways being woman trained to counter attack the abuser.

Man and woman are born equal so they have equal responsibilities towards the society. In order to have a secure and a prosperous society, each gender has to be able to lean on each other in times of difficulties. However, things aren’t as expected and as good as we can imagine. In many societies, a woman has high risk of physical abuse compared to a man. It may not always be a woman, but today most of the victims that are depicted in media are women.

Irrespective of all the precautions, women are still vulnerable even in this modern society. When people commit heinous crime like this, a society should change their laws in such a way that an assault on a woman can be upgraded to a bigger crime with severe penalties. This may only be the proactive way of reducing the risk of assault to a woman besides educational and awareness programs for the violence against woman.
