To reduce her risk of assault...
In order for women to reduce her risk of assault violently, sexually, emotionally and/or verbally she must be assertive, alert, and prepared. Reducing assault can be in using an assertively confident voice and maintaining good straight body posture all the time and also stating what they want and when they want it. A woman should also be very self confident in all manners to just be a better woman and person. Women can be prepared by staying in control, traveling in groups or with a buddy, carrying a knife or some pepper spray, and taking a self defense class is always a plus for kids and women. Everyone should know how to protect moreover defend themselves and also know methods of keeping calm in an assault. In order to be alert women should always trust their natural instincts, watch for any signs of trouble or abuse, and report suspicious individuals or visitors plus any abuse or harassment. A woman can definitely reduces risk factors by most half of the percent by stilling in control of any new or dangerous situation because getting too scared or emotional never seems to help anything.

I agree that being assertive and confident and knowing what you want is very important, because I know a lot of men prey on vulnerable women who seem weaker as more at risk to not get help or say no when they rape them. Also, as you mentioned, being alert and prepared is important - a girl must read a guy for possible verbal or non-verbal warnings that he could get aggressive, dominant, and abuse his power as a man.

Being confident is very important. By being confident you know what ever come your way can be handled. A lot of attackers pick on the weak both emotionaly and physically. If you hold your head up they will be surprise that the shoe is not on the other foot. Also being alert is very very important because you will be able to identif your surrounding and if something happens you can discribe what your attacket looks like, were they came from and what happened.

I said the same thing! A woman that looks confident and like she is in control is sometimes enough to keep attackers away. Even in a relationship were the attacker is your boyfriend, knowing yourself well enough will keep him from totally tearing you down.
