Women?s Self Defense

Not long ago, crime was something that happened to other people. It happened in cities or “high crime areas” but not in quiet little towns where moms take kids to the park, jog alone or go to and from work at all hours of the day and night.

Things have changed a lot. It seems that potential attackers do not care who they attack – whether men, women or children. In the past self-defense weapons have been marketed almost exclusively to men, leaving women very few places to go to find protection. Lack of information and access to reliable and effective weapons has left many women vulnerable, injured or dead.

More recently, there has been more emphasis on women’s self defense. There are more offerings of self-defense classes and other ideas on self-defense. However, women need more. Though self-defense classes are important and not to be minimized, they often leave a bit to be desired. For example, if you are 5’2” and 100 pounds, it might be quite difficult – if not, impossible – to end of a 6 foot tall attacker, even with self-defense training.

There is a way to bolster women’s self defense, as well as, help women have the same access to self-defense tools as men have traditionally had available to them. There are products on the market that are available to everyone and will deliver protection every time.

Products such as pepper-spray, for instance, come in various forms and styles. There is pepper spray, pepper foam and pepper gel. Some of thee products come hidden inside fake ballpoint pens, lipstick tubes, flashlights, cell phones and more. They are easy to conceal and easy to use.

There are tasers and stun guns which send non-lethal, powerful electric volts into would-be attackers and incapacitate these attackers, giving a person time to get away and get help. Many of these tools come in compact packages and various colors. They fit in a purse or pocket and are easy to use, while being extremely effective.

Women’s self-defense is essential and critical. It is important for women to have choices in being able to protect and defend themselves in a way that gives them security.
