Millions of people are raped every year. No matter what “type” of rape it is, it’s still rape and it’s still a violation of your body, mind and rights as a human being.
This can happen to the young or the old, men or women. Know how to avoid these situations when they won’t avoid you and also how to arm yourself against this horrible crime.
Research Your Partner
Don’t go rushing off on that hot date with the new guy at work that nobody knows anything about without a little protection. Do your homework and research anything you can find out about this new dude to see if he has a criminal background or is a registered sex offender.
It’s free to check for sex offenders in your area. Also, see what you can find out about him through work friends or by talking to him on a friendly level while at work or in public. Never a bad idea to Google his name to see what else you can find out. While it may make you feel like a stalker, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Be in Control
Pack a cell phone, pepper spray and drive yourself to meet your date or pick them up. This will put you in control of where you go, when you leave and what roads you take getting there and back. Be confident and don’t act like you have fluff for brains and stars in your eyes. Make your date understand that you are intelligent and completely capable of taking care of yourself. Don’t leave drinks with your date while you walk around or go to the bathroom. This is a perfect time for them to slip you something. Try to buy your own
drinks or at least be present when the drinks arrive.
Pick the Place
Knowing where you are and feeling comfortable there is a big part of being in control. Opt for a well known restaurant with a well lit populated parking lot. This will cut down on parking lot attacks and also give your date less of a chance to slip you drugs in your drink. Of course you should stay as alert as possible and don’t let booze do your talking for you. Your “No” may come out weaker and not be heard as solidly by yourself or your date if you are both intoxicated.
