15 Ways to Avoid and
Resist Rape - A Detailed Explanation
The rape cases in Nigeria recently got
hiked due to the lock down and many other things and the way forward for the
ladies now, is to take every possible precaution to be able to avoid falling victim
of rape.
Daily Trend has shortlisted 15 ways
ladies out there can avoid and resist rape from rapists. This is not the only
measures hat can be taken but then, this would go a long way to help ladies out
there who may not know the signs.
There are many ways rapists or “innocent
men” who may not even have the intention of raping a lady get lured into the
act of raping. Some come to their senses after the act and go as far as
threatening the victims to keep the secret.
If ladies in Nigeria and around the
world could practice these fifteen (15) precautionary measures, the cases of
rape would dwindle in no time, lessening the crime across all societies.
1. Dress decently – this is by far one
of the reasons rape cases are being recording almost every day in Nigeria and
around the world. Descent dressing would lessen and cut the curve of rape crimes
in our world today, so ladies please, dress decently.
2. Avoid unnecessary visits – avoid visiting
male friends at all time, visit only when it is necessary and only when you
have an important thing o do, m advice is, meet in public places instead.
3. Visit at appropriate times – as a
lady, you should not visit a male friend or colleague at just any hour of the
day, there are times that the body system is highly sensitive to touch, presence
and availability of a female gender. Be sure to visit at appropriate times of
the day.
4. do not visit a man alone – when visiting
a male friend that you do not know well, even if the man is your neighbor, try
not to do it alone. Visit men with female friends or male friends. Just do not
visit men that you do not feel okay with alone.
5. Avoid visiting men who you so not
trust – this is a whole different angle on visitation, if you do not trust him enough
to control himself, do not visit him. It is that simple, straight and forward.
6. Do not trust men easily – take your
time to know him before you trust him. Do not trust him because he is your choir
member or director or even a pastor. Devil can use anybody at their low points/moments.
7. Even when you trust a man, be
careful how close you go to them – you trust a man does not mean they cannot
change or they may not be wrongly attracted to you. Lust is respecter of nobody,
until you have subjected yourself to control at all time.
8. Define your relationship with every
man around you so they know their stand – make your male friends understand
their positions in your life. When you play too loosely to some of them, they
get a completely different message and may begin to think lustfully towards you
that may later lead to rape attempt or rape if you refuse them your body.
9. Avoid walking alone on lonely road
paths – be careful how you walk along lonely paths, avoid it completely if
possible. Take along a male if you must go through a lonely path to get to your
destination. This is a very big opportunity to rapist, so avoid it as much as
possible.
10. Do not be completely free with
all male friends – do not be that loose friend to all male friends you have,
someday they may need you to be even more loose and when you resist, it may
lead to rape. Be a woman of your words, be a woman of valor.
11. As a lady, try to always be with
somebody, do not walk around alone all the time – do not go walking around
alone at all time, someone may study you and set a trap for you. Always be with
people or someone, avoid being alone at all time.
12. Avoid skinny dresses that
completely exposes your "endowments" – yes, this is also a deviation
from dressing decent, a lady who dresses decently attracts a decent man and not
a rapist. But a lady who dresses indecent, attracts indecent men (rapists) and
irresponsible men.
13. No man is a stone, avoid
unnecessary touching – being just a friend to a man means you have limited
access to touching and staying close to him, make it remain so by avoiding unnecessary
touches which may heighten his sensitive organs. Hand shake and light hugs are okay.
14. Be vigilant to know when a man is
crossing the line – some ladies are to insensitive to notice when some men are going
off with them. Be vigilant, never loose guard on your body and sensitivity. Know
when men are touching you loosely or indecently and avoid such people to avoid
bad stories.
15. Do not be afraid to raise alarm
if you got raped or in the process of being raped – trauma and fear or threat make
some victims keep quiet, some ladies get death threats before they got raped and
some after they got raped. Do not mind the threats, report to appropriate authorities
and you will be protected while they get persecuted. Push aside fear and make
the change by speaking up and speaking out.
