Personal Security For Women
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Roger_Weaver]Roger Weaver

We all enjoy getting out of the house for activities or meeting with friends. A favorite activity of women is shopping. As women it is important that we keep an eye out and protect ourselves to prevent becoming a victim of purse snatching, assault, or rape.

Protecting yourself while you are at home or away is an easy task. For protection at home install a top quality security system with monitoring services. A security system can protect you from break-ins, assault, fire, carbon monoxide poisoning and medical emergencies. Selecting a home security system is an important step and should be taken with care.

Personal security while out on the town is equally important. A valuable tool for woman is to receive self-defense training. There are many groups that offer self-defense training. You will learn what to do in the event that someone approaches you with a knife or grabs you from behind. You will learn techniques that can save your life.

Keep careful watch over your bags when you are at the mall or out on the town. Do not carry your wallet in your hand or a purse that has handles. These are easy targets for thieves to grab and run. A purse that has a long strap that can be placed over your neck will be more secure. Thieves are looking for easy targets to rob.

There are personal safety items that can be carried with you in your purse or pocket. Pepper spray is a good deterrent. There are some pepper spray cans that can be attached to your key chain for easy access. Pepper spray can slow down an assailant giving you time to seek help or get to safety. An advantage of pepper spray as a self-defense tool is that it is legal to carry, sell, or use in most states.

Personal sirens are another deterrent. These are usually a small device that you pull a pin or press a button for. The device sends off an alarm scaring the attacker. A siren will draw attention to you which is something that an attacker does not want. These sirens can be purchased with a decibel rating up to 110 db which can easily discourage an assailant.

The simplest item to carry with you is a loud whistle. The premise behind the whistle is that it will draw attention to the assailant and discourage their attack. These whistles are the kind of whistle that you blow and are small enough for you to carry or attach to your key chain.

Regardless of the personal security method that you choose it is important to remain alert of your surroundings and the people that are near you. When you are at home be certain to arm your home security system. Good security can give you the peace of mind that you are safe and someone is watching over you.

Safety Tips For Women!
By Marie Clare

Safety should be the Number One Priority for Women! In my book
“the Ultimate Online Dating Handbook” I provide tips on being
safe on your first encounter with an Internet Dating friend. But
really, women need to keep safety in mind whether you are out of
town, in a hotel, in a car, at home or going for a walk. Safety
should be your first concern. Try following the tips below to
help keep yourself safe at all times.

If you are traveling in an unfamiliar area consider these.

- In a hotel room alone at night put a doorstop under the main
door and any adjoining doors before you go to bed. This will
help to prevent a break in.

- If you’re single and traveling alone, wear a band on your
left hand ring finger. It should look like a wedding ring. This
way you are not advertising that you’re there by yourself.

- Always carry the address of the hotel you are staying at with
you. If you get lost you can ask a store employee, a family or a
woman with children for directions. These would be considered
safe people to ask.

When driving in your car alone it is a good idea to take some
precautions.

- Always drive with the car doors locked.

- Your windows should be up at least three-quarters of the way
to prevent someone from trying to get in through your windows.

- Always keep the tank half full. You do not want to be got in
an unfamiliar area without gas.

- Be cautious if a stranger is loitering around your vehicle,
or sitting in a vehicle parked next to yours.

- Also, if you use public transportation like the bus or
subway, sit near the driver or operator. Someone will be less
likely to attack in the presence of authority.

If you walk regularly

- Do not draw attention to yourself be wearing flashy jewelry
or expensive clothing.

- When walking alone at night avoid walking on poorly lit
streets, near ally ways or parks. It is harder for you to see
any person around you in poorly lit areas. It is best to stick
to well lit streets that you are familiar with. And, never wear
headphones - you must be alert at all times. Wearing headphones
will not allow you to hear someone who may be approaching you.

There are also things you can do to stay safe in your home.

- When alone keep your doors and windows locked.

- Leave a light on outside and some on inside. If you are
coming home late and do not want to leave lights on all day,
purchase some timers. For outside and for inside. Set them to go
on as dusk falls so it will appear someone is home.

- If you are going away have a reliable neighbor or family
member pick up your mail and newspaper every day. If you are
going away for a more lengthy period of time put a stop on your
mail and the newspaper delivery. If you can, have a car parked
in your driveway while you’re gone. Have someone cut your grass
or shovel the snow. Do all of this to make the house appear like
someone is home. This will help deter burglars.

Follow these easy steps and always be careful and alert when
ever you are alone.

Be Safe!
