According to the FBI, in 2016, an estimated 1,248,185 violent crimes occurred nationwide. This was an increase of 4.1 percent from the 2015 estimate. There were an estimated 386.3 violent crimes per 100,000 inhabitants that year.”
Did you know that in the US, a woman is sexually assaulted every 98 seconds? Did you know that more than 70 percent of victims know their attackers? Did you know that the chances of getting out of a car that you have gotten into with an attacker are very low?
Perhaps it is very easy for us to forget about the “what if” situations that are out there because there are so many other things to think about and to do.
Yet, what is so important for your safety as a woman is realizing that anything can happen to you at any time.
Follow these important tips:
- Always be aware of what is happening around you. This alone can help to protect you from problems by dissuading attackers.
- Always have a companion when possible.
- Always avoid strange cars that approach you at any time.
- Learn how to use your body as a tool to protect yourself.
- Know where on a body is the prime location for hurting someone that attacks you.
- Carry an easily accessible self-defense product with you. Your can of pepper spray will do you little good if it is buried at the bottom of your purse.
By doing these things, you put yourself in a better position to protect yourself from anyone that should attack you. With the risks of problems increasing every year, it is up to you to do whatever it takes to protect yourself.
Do not look like, act like or be the victim. While taking a self-defense class or practicing martial arts is excellent, it might not be feasible for a lot of women due to age, physical limitations or lack of time and/or money.
The simplest thing to do is to be prepared and to carry an easily accessible self-defense product on you at all times. Not only will carrying give you more self-confidence but it will also even out the field against an attacker. Predators know how to target their victims and tend to avoid people with a confident gait.
Here is a list of the best self-defense products for women.

#1 Vipertek Heavy Duty Stun Gun
My favorite women self-defense tool! My partner gave it to me for my birthday. Every Sunday and Monday, I am the only staff person on duty in a homeless shelter. The facility is in a basement accessible through a dark alley. While I am not a coward, opening the doors alone during the dark winter evenings can be a bit unsettling at times.
I am therefore very glad to have this well built, powerful stun gun. It fits very well in my hand and also doubles as a bright LED flashlight.
This taser will zap an attacker with a 960 million volt sting. Its spiked electrodes can penetrate through thick clothing. When discharging, it makes a very loud crackling noise which would send any opponent running (if he was not already down on the floor).
This very powerful stun gun will bring an attacker to his knees and give you time to escape to safety. Last but not least, it comes with a wall charger and you don’t have to buy an expensive battery
