When out in public, stick to well-lit, populated areas and travel with friends. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid confrontations. When using transportation like trains or taxis, sit near the guard or driver and know your destination. Drive and park in well-lit places and don't leave valuables in sight. When going away, secure your home and have someone check on it. If you feel unsafe, remove yourself from the situation or draw attention to get help. Staying aware and together with friends enhances personal safety.
