Aasra advisory for women under attack
The
history of all times and of today especially, teaches that women will
be forgotten if they forget to think about themselves - Louise Otto
Advisory for Women under attack
* If someone is trying to grope you then get hold of his thumb and bend it outwards. It will disarm him completely. But do make sure you are in a public place so that you can yell for support if required. You can also knee him or kick him in the groin, Poke his eyes, elbow him, hit him on the nose or at the temple. These are all vulnerable areas which when under attack disarms the attacker temporarily.
Take Care. BE SAFE. LEARN to PROTECT Yourself...
