How can rape be prevented?
-
Rape cases are increasing nowadays... Most recent one will be the Macritchie Reservoir case... So wat ways u ppl think can reduce the possibilities of rape cases?
-
by giving consent
if the woman is willing, it's technically no longer rape. -
Girls please be cautious when passing by isolated places! Best is avoid or don't go alone.

S'pore should allow gals to carry pepper spray..to protect themselves..
but then again..pepper spray can be used as a weapon in robbery..

the question was how to prevent rape, not stop a sexual assault.

They should allow it. as for the use for robbery, the robbers can have easy access to guns already. which is worse then pepper spray.Originally posted by PaJeRoMiNi Ver 1.0:S'pore should allow gals to carry pepper spray..to protect themselves..

The only thing is that, I don't think a pepper spray will do much good when the rapist already got his hands on the victim. -
the first thing is the gal is not calm enough ....
if she is calm enough i guess she will not be raped ...
tell the rapist ... that you are infectous ... -
Rape Protective Measures
Rape is a violent crime, an invasion, a frightening experience. Rape affects all women, no matter what their age, race or economic status. All women are potential victims of sexual assault.
By being aware, a woman can reduce the likelihood of becoming a rape victim. This does not mean all rapes can be prevented. Rapists commit rape -- NOT VICTIMS.
Psychological Preparedness
1. Accept the fact that you are a potential rape victim. Many women operate under the illusion "it will never happen to me". It may.
2. Educate yourself concerning rape prevention tactics.
3. Become familiar with community rape prevention and counseling.
4. Become aware of locations and situations where rape is more likely to occur and avoid them, or take precautions.
In a Dating/Friend Situation
1. The majority of rapes that occur are termed "acquaintance rapes" - the rapist and victim know one another. Trust your feelings. If you become uncomfortable in a situation, assertively ask the person to leave. Don't worry about hurt feelings.
2. If possible, let a friend or roommate know who you are with and where you will be. Leave an address and phone number when possible.
In Your Car
1. Keep windows and doors locked.
2. If you should be followed into your driveway, stay in your car with the doors locked. Sound horn to get the attention of neighbors or scare the other driver off.
3. When parking at night, select a place that will be well-lit when returning to the car.
4. Always make sure the car is locked, and have the keys ready when returning to the car.
5. Check interior of car before getting in.
On the Street
1. Be observant of things around you. If someone is following you, go to the nearest house or store.
2. Walk near the curb and avoid passing close to shrubbery, dark doorways and other places of concealment.
3. DO NOT HITCHHIKE.
4. Avoid short cuts through parking lots and alleys.
5. Walk with a friend if at all possible. Don't walk alone.
6. If a car approaches you and you feel threatened, scream and run in the direction opposite of the one the car is going.
7. When arriving home by taxi or private auto, ask the driver to wait until you are inside.
8. Don't jog in secluded areas.
9. Know the location of the special emergency phones campus.
In Your Home
1. The best lock cannot function if you fail to lock it. Be sure to keep your doors locked.
2. All windows should have secure locks and frames.
3. All entrances and garages should be well-lit.
4. Never open the door after a knock. Require the person to give their name. In the case of service persons ask for proper I.D. and refuse entrance if you feel uneasy.
If You Are Sexually Assaulted
The best resistance you can use against an attacker is your common sense. Think! Don't panic. The most important element to remember is that you are not trying to fight the attacker, but are attempting to divert the person long enough to get away. Always look for a way to escape.
If the attacker has a weapon, use your common sense.
Fighting against it could be dangerous.
1. Stay calm. Do not do anything that may upset the attacker.
2. Try to convince the person to put the weapon down.
3. Talk to your attacker, show sympathy and understanding.
4. Make the attacker see you as an individual, not as an object.
If the attacker is unarmed, you may be able to scare, distract or injure the person enough to make your escape.
1. Scream "FIRE," "POLICE," or create a disturbance that will attract attention.
2. Assert yourself and fight back if you can do so safely.
3. Break away and run toward areas with people.
4. Be observant so that you will be able to remember and identify the assailant.
5. Report the incident to the police as soon as possible.
Checklist for Victims of Sexual Assault
1. Report the crime immediately to the police.
2. Do not shower, douche, or change clothing.
3. Have a medical exam and internal gynecological exam as soon as possible. A delay in time may destroy evidence.
a) Semen smears must be taken by a clinician.
b) Inform clinician of exact acts committed upon you and have the clinician note any medical evidence of them.
c) Clinician should note any bruises or injuries bleeding, lacerations, etc. external or internal.
d) Have clinician test for venereal diseases (and pregnancy later, if relevant).
4. Do not disturb the scene of the assault.
5. Inform police of all details of attack, however intimate, and of anything unusual you may have noted about the attacker. Remember what the person said and how it was said. It may lead to the arrest of the assailant.
6. Show police any external bruises or injuries, however minor, resulting from the attack.
7. Police may request your clothes for purpose of evidence.
8. Inform the police if you remember anything that was not previously reported. -

there was a report about a would-be rapist who got his family jewels mangled by his victim...
she grabbed it and treated it like a mop she was trying to wring out...
he ended up at a hospital for treatment and was promptly arrested....
first rule of anything like this: NEVER PANIC! -
kick his balls
-
don think anyone dare to drive tat ard rite???Originally posted by the Bear:car alarm, no one will care.... they'll only bother if the car is being driven around with the alarm on -
that's the premise of the car alarm...
i prefer the types where without the key (which has an electronic key embedded), the car is disabled... no point for any car thief to try and steal...
as for the topic, it's best to not panic and hurt the rapist so hard, he cannot chase you when you run away...Originally posted by thhong22:don think anyone dare to drive tat ard rite???
