Pepper spray works by temporary thwarting an attacker with a stinging sensation to his eyes. This is a handy gadget, especially for single women who have to go out in the city late at night. Women who travel alone will do well to have a canister of mace pepper spray in their bags. Here are some other ways to feel safe in the city:
1. Enrolling in self defense classes.2. Choosing to commute or travel with a companion, especially at night. A good mantra to go by is “there’s safety in numbers.”
3. Always being alert that something could go wrong when you are out in the street.
4. Always checking if your doors are locked before you leave the house.
5. Keeping valuables, such as jewelry and your wallet, safely tucked in your bag. This means removing all jewelry before climbing onto the bus or getting on the subway.
