CONTENT WARNING: rape / sexual assault (1/?)
if u dont know what april 24 is, lots of men in the U.S. have deemed it 'national rape day' and they're trying to see how many women they can rape that day. this is disgusting. i dont care if you're talking abt it as a 'joke' its not fucking funny. (2/?)
sexual assault and rape is NOT a joke, its a huge issue, and making 'jokes' about someones trauma or fear is not, and never will be, funny. you're a horrible person if u joke about it, or think its funny. (3/?)
in this thread im going to give u some tips to help u stay safe on that day, please rt to spread. (4/?)
1. try your best not to go out on the 24th, if u have something that needs to get done like shopping, appointments etc, try and get them done before the 24th if u can. but if u have to go out keep reading (5/?)
2. do NOT go places by yourself. it is so much safer to go out in groups in any day but especially in the 24th. if ur in groups ur less likely to be targeted, u have a witness if something happens, and fighting back will be a little easier if you're not by yourself (6/?)
3. carry a whistle or a personal alarm. if someone will not leave u alone then pull the alarm or blow the whistle. this will alert people around u that something may be wrong and someone is in danger. after alerting people run. (7/?)
run to where lots of people are so there are witnesses, and more people to help u if something happens (8/?)
4. box cutters are $2 at walmart, get one. (9/?)
5. be on the phone with someone if u are alone or feel unsafe. tell them where u are or to track your location in case something happens. (10/?)
6. stay near main roads. do not take shady short cuts or paths that are secluded (11/?)
im now going to go into some self defense tips. (12/?)
REMEMBER THE WEAK POINTS, if someone attacks u go for the eyes, nose, throat, and groin. (13/?)
1. if someone grabs u from behind jerk your head back into theirs, then lean forward and grab onto their knees, and then pull. pull hard, and of course after this u RUN. after any self defense u run to a public place (14/?)
2. if you can't grab the persons hand, hit him with a fist or with a finger between the collarbones or into his Adam's apple. (15/?)
this will make the attacker move away from you. now hit him in the groin with your knee. (16/??
