Donât walk by walls, itâs easier to pin you against them and itâs closer to alleys to be dragged down without people noticing
Carry an umbrella, yes even if itâs sunny, and use it like a baseball bat, you can open it from far away so itâll make you a harder target
Try not to take ubers or taxis, if you can walk, then walk(and it will save you money)
If youâre going to listen to music, only use one earbud and donât play it loud(if youâre changing song do it quick so you arenât on your phone and distracted for long)
Donât use your phone, like donât be consistently looking down on your phone youâre more distracted
Stand up straight and look straight ahead when you walk(thereâs a pin about the winter soldier walk, do that) walk confidently like you arenât scared even if you are
If you carry pepper spray have it in you hand ready to go, though the only to use it if they are close so carry an umbrella but if you donât have one then spray them and if itâs a guy kick him in the balls and run as fast as you can to a store and another walker(preferably a woman with children)
Try to take routes that are better lit, donât cut through alleys, it may save you some minutes but itâs not worth it
If you can walk with someone, someone you trust maybe someone at work at you live close to each other and text each other when you reach where you live so you know the other is ok
Look them in the eye, if they are walking behind you turn around and stare with the most murder gaze you can at them, let them know you see them
There was a thing about wearing the leather jackets with spikes on them so they canât grab you
