Retail Associates are often young high school or college age women looking to earn extra money while they attend school. Many retail associates who fit this category are part time workers and must work the later shifts due to school conflicts. This means leaving work alone well after dark.

The most vulnerable situation is walking out to a car alone late at night. Even when not alone, two young women may not be much of a challenge for someone who is a violent criminal looking to sexually assault women. Also, if you have noticed young women coming out of the mall - they usually have their cell phone attached to their ear talking non-stop to whomever and not paying attention to what is going on around them. Being alert and aware of your surroundings wherever you are - especially when alone - is very important. When you’re preoccupied with other things, whether it’s being on a cell phone or just not paying attention you put yourself at a greater risk of being attacked.

It’s Not Too Early To Learn…

It is never too early to teach young women about self-defense and personal safety awareness training. The prepetrator knows no age and a high school or college women tends to have fewer life experiences that involve a criminal act. Therefore, many young women think that a crime involving a violent attack or assault will never happen to her. By thinking this way women sometimes let their guard down and become an easy victim!

Mothers should encourage their daughters to take a self-defense or a personal safety awareness class to learn how to protect and themselves should they be a victim of an personal assault or attack. Today our news tells us almost daily about young women who are violently attacked, raped, and murdered. Knowing how to protect yourself is only half the battle; the other may be carrying some type of personal protection like pepper spray, mace spray, a stun gun (that looks like a cell phone), or a TASER C2. Together they can give you an added advantage that could save your life!
