• When you’re going out, make sure a responsible adult know where you are and when you will be returning home, if you change your plans don’t forget to let them know.
• Remember, there are safety in numbers and you are less likely to be attacked or sexually assaulted if you are in a group rather than alone or with one other person.
• Not all attacks are by strangers, in fact, the majority involve people we know at home, school, work or some other social environment, so look for warning signs when a situation is getting beyond your control, and get help.
• If you are out alone, stay in busy well-lit areas, avoiding lonely shortcuts.
• Plan your journey, both ways in advance; arrange a ride with a relative, friend, or reputable taxi service if possible.
• Don’t accept a ride from a stranger or someone you have just met.
• Avoid carrying too much cash, but if someone tries to steal, put your safety first.

• If someone does approach you in the street and you feel threatened, make as much noise as possible to deter them and attract attention. Run to get help.
• Report any such incidents to the Police
• If you feel you are being made a victim, perhaps of bullying or sexual abuse, tell the Police or a relative or teacher if you really cannot face them. Think about contacting one of the other agencies, Ministry of Social Development, Legal Aid and Counseling, Religious Organization or someone whom you trust.
• If there is a street brawl or similar incident, you might think its fun to stay and watch, but you can put your self in danger it take guts to walk away, but it might actually help to diffuse the situation before someone is badly hurt.
