The problem of sexual harassment seems never-ending. Almost every day, we hear about sexual harassment on social media or television. Here are some ways to protect ourselves from these violent actions.
Firstly, avoid places that are prone to such violations. Stay away from lonely and dark places, whether it's during the day or night. However, be cautious even in crowded situations, like on a train or bus.
Secondly, be firm and don't easily trust anyone, especially strangers you meet. Friendliness is not forbidden, but in situations with many unknown people, it's better to be a bit reserved.
Thirdly, prepare self-defense tools. You can learn a little or a lot about martial arts, or simply carry simple items like pepper spray, perfume, or a stun gun when you go out.
Lastly, be confident. High self-confidence helps us speak up firmly as a preventive measure against sexual violence.
In conclusion, by applying the preventive steps mentioned above, it is hoped that we can protect ourselves from the prevalent issue of sexual violence nowadays.
