While there is palpable fear and anger, the incident also poses an important question — with the police and law failing to curb the number of rape cases in our country, what can women do to protect themselves from sexual predators? Here are some tips to help you. Try them along with a tremendous amount of willpower.
Pepper spray: Also known as OC gas, pepper spray is an effective weapon. In India, you don't need any specific permission or license to carry it. It is readily available online at `300 onwards. Just make sure it isn't expired, or that the gas isn't running low.
Safety gear: There are many tools to incapacitate the attacker temporarily. For example, a rechargeable pocket stun-gun or a pocket-taser can come quite handy. If you're stepping out at night, recharge your pocket thunderbolt.
Be prepared always: Keep all your safety tools in a handy place in the bag. Think of it like a sidearm, and be quick with it. Practise a couple of times.
Combat training: If you're into fitness and workouts, it makes sense to do a short course in self-defence. Krav Maga, an Israeli combat technique, is a good option. A street-fighting technique perfected over the years, it has a practical approach to self-defence. In this, technique and presence of mind score over brute strength, which give women an advantage.
Safety apps: With smartphones providing services such as GPS location tracking, your mobile phone could save you in a sticky situation. There are a number of free as well as paid apps — available across many operating systems — that can relay your location instantly to a preset number you may have stored. This will help your friends and family track you down. But a drawback with such apps is that they will only work in areas with network connectivity.
