Yeah, in extreme cases that could work but will the law back you up? I believe more non lethal ways should be explored. like maybe a stun gun or mace

**Another angle** what if the rapist gets a hold of the knife and uses it against the victim?

on the average, males are stronger than females. I think wisdom should be applied here, not just brute force.

callmeRichie:


Lol I understand you view sha, buh is it not better to kill than be killed?? Give up or die while trying, which one is better? Lol

The painful part now is that these rapists are now killing their victims to erase evidences

I get what you are trying to say but giving money shouldnt always lead to sex

illicit:
prevention is better than cure....

Don't take money from guys u don't want to get down with for that same purpose

I agree with them all except knife though. Knives are dangerous and you can easily kill someone

callmeRichie:
1. Probably shouldn't walk alone.

2. Dressing decently as possible(Please don't overdress)

3. Learn 1 or 2 physical defense hits

4. Carry small knife in your bag. (It's not only for makeup and mirror)

5. Have your most reachable and available person's number(s) in speed dial.

6. Trust nobody!, even your dad so don't go visiting alone!

This one goes out to the females all over.

Recently, we have seen a rise in rape cases. If you could learn something/ do something to actually defend yourself, your loved ones, your children even, from ever getting raped, what would you learn?

I recently learned how to make homemade pepper spray to use to fight any attack

Few useful tips:

1. If you know well in advance that you will be out late night,use your own transport rather than depending on public service.Avoid shortcuts.

2.Technology has come to the rescue of women.There are apps in the market for women safety.Install it on your phone.

3. Do not tolerate eve teasing.I think the silence in these matters is considered as encouragement or seen as weakness.Humiliate the person by yelling and making it obvious to the people around.Trust me,he will back off.

4. Be aware and alert when you are travelling.Keep a check on the guys around and their behaviour. Any suspicious activity get into a nearby shop,mall or police station.

5.Worst Scenario:In case you are attacked,
Be calm.
Hit when you need to.If you cannot hit hard,use the handbags.
Aim for the eyes,stomach and the crotch.Use the nails to poke the eyes.Use your heels and kick him in the right place hard enough.
