AS VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN INCREASES, MORE AND MORE WOMEN DECIDE IT’S OKAY TO FIGHT BACK

Home And Personal Security Expert Provides Assault Prevention Techniques and Products

Evansville, IN—It is no wonder that, in a world that perpetuates violence against women on television, in music, movies, and society every day, the number and frequency of violent acts against women increases every year.

According to a 1999 report by Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN), every 90 seconds, somewhere in American, a woman is sexually assaulted. One in every four women report that the rape took place in a public area or parking garage, and that the offender was a stranger.

Unfortunately, experts agree that these staggering statistics will not be altered significantly by more law enforcement or stricter punishments for offenders. The only ones who can change the statistics are women themselves.

According to personal and home security expert, Marvin Lewis, “In order to avoid becoming the victim of assault, a woman must feel she is capable of defending herself.”

But the role of women in society has never been that of the fighter. Most women do not feel they can match their attacker physically, even with self-defense training. That is why Lewis strongly advocates self-defense and safety products for the home, car and personal security.

“In 29% of rapes, the offender uses a weapon,” says Lewis. “So women are often outmatched physically in two ways. That is why it is so important for women to change their mentality and resolve to fight back. There are a variety of home and personal safety devices available today that have saved countless women from being assaulted. But they could save many more.”

Lewis urges women—especially those between the ages of 18 and 45, the most highly targeted age bracket for rape and assault—to take a proactive stance in their own protection and carry personal safety devices, such as pepper spray, stun guns, personal alarms, and stun and flashlight alarms.
