Assault

A woman can reduce the risk of assault by never traveling without a buddy. It would also be important to not be caught alone in places that are sketchy or "the wrong part of town." The way a woman dresses can influence the way assailants look at a woman. If she is dressed skimpy, attackers would be more likely to attack. Taking classes that address the issue is another way to be prepared and learn about defensive and preventative tactics. Overall, it is never a woman's fault she is assaulted, but there are ways to reduce the temptation and take a safer approach to avoid the conflict.
