Have male friends in the
group if possible
whenever hanging out in
public places as it will
help to reduce any risky
incidents.

BY GIRLS…
It should be necessary for
every girl to have some
training of self defense to
protect herself.
Engagement of girls in some
taikwondo, judo or karate
training to bring out the gutsy
talent and prove yourself.
In this way you will also be
able to save not only yours but
other girls life as well which
will even teach those non-
humans the lesson of their life.
17. CARRY PEPPER SPRAY OR SMALL KNIFE
Carrying small safety weapons with
you not only makes you feel safe but
will even help to avoid any kind of
harassing situation.
Whenever you feel that somebody
is trying to touch you or
unnecessarily trying to get close to
you just take out the bottle and spray
it in his eyes
showing the knife can make the
people around you aware of the
situation and can come for your
help.
Such kinds of techniques act as a
part of self defense and which will
not only make the teasers learn a
lesson but will also give some
strength to the other girls for future
of how they can protect themselves
and fight against the harassers
18. DRESS DECENTLY
Dresses which expose the
body parts of the girls often
gives men wrong signal if
moving alone.
Although there are some
cheap people who still tease
decent looking girls but
exposing leads to more
teasing.
Just be covered and look
simple as it still keeps a lot
of evil at bay.

The door of vulgar cinema and open sky culture must be
stopped
