Keep the mobile phone in hand
Whenever you are going somewhere alone, always keep your mobile phone in hand and dial the emergency number beforehand so that you can call quickly when needed.
You can call someone
If you have someone with whom you can stay on call, then call him and talk continuously. If you can do a video call then it is even better. If you stay on call, then anyone will think many times before coming to you.
Choose the everyday route
If you are going somewhere alone late at night, then never choose a shortcut in a hurry. Go by the same route by which you come and go every day. You are well acquainted with the route there, in such a situation you will not have any fear.
Keep women's safety app on phone
Always keep your phone charged and keep women's safety apps on the phone. Use it when needed. Save all your details in it beforehand.
If you are in a cab, do this
If you are alone in a cab, call a family member as soon as you sit in the cab and send the cab's number and live location. If you cannot call anyone, then also put the phone to your ear in front of the driver and talk as if you are sending the cab's number and live location to someone.
Keep these things in the front of your bag
Always keep pepper spray, chili spray, and safety knife in your bag. Always keep it on such a side that you can take it out immediately. Do not hesitate to use it when needed.
