- Use the 鈥渢hree D鈥檚鈥 as a guide:
- Direct: Assess whether it is safe to intervene.
- Delegate: Call for help.
- Distract: Make some noise after you鈥檝e sent for help.
Sexual Violence Prevention Strategies
Sexual violence cannot always be prevented, but there are ways to protect yourself, and lower your risk of sexual violence. Check out these tips, courtesy of RAINN (Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network):
Avoiding dangerous situations
- Be aware of your surroundings. Knowing where and who is around you can assist you in avoiding a dangerous situation.
- Try to avoid isolated areas. It is difficult to seek help when there is no one around you.
- Walk with a purpose. Even if you do not know where you are heading, act as if you do.
- Trust your instincts. If a location or a situation feels uncomfortable or unsafe, leave.
Getting out of an uncomfortable situation
- Be true to yourself. Don't feel obligated to do anything you don't want to do. Do what feels right to you and what you are comfortable with.
- Lie. If you don鈥檛 want to hurt the person鈥檚 feelings it is better to lie and make up a reason to leave than to stay and be uncomfortable, scared, or worse.
- Try to think of an escape route. How would you try to get out of the room? Where are the doors? Windows? Are there people around who might be able to help you? Is there an emergency phone nearby?
- If you and/or the other person have been drinking, say that you would rather wait until you both have your full judgment before doing anything you may regret later.
