It is so important to keep ourselves safe and secure from sexual violence by being aware of our surroundings. What is so scary is that every 98 seconds, someone is being sexual assaulted. Also, 1 out of every 6 American women has been victims of sexual assault in her lifetime. 29% women were traveling to and from running errands, travel, school or work. Sexual assault is not just rape, it is any type of forced sexual contact or attempts to obtain a sexual act from a stranger or someone you know.
Keep Yourself Safe And Secure From Sexual Violence
While there is no way to eliminate the chance of being sexual assaulted, there are devices such as the Portable Personal Alarm from SABRE that can help us stay safer. This device reduces the risk of being attack and will give us confidence when we are alone.
I feel so much safer now that I have my portable Personal Alarm. It is easy to take with me anywhere. It features a dual siren design with two sirens sounding at different frequencies. The compact design allows the device to be discretely carried around with me anywhere. The key ring allows me to easily attach it to my keychain or handbags. In addition, it was super simple to active it. All I needed to do was removed the keychain pin from the alarm.
A portable personal alarm is a great idea. I just read the other day a great tip to take our car keys to bed with us if you have a car alarm on your dongle. If something happens in the middle of the night, sound your car alarm to draw attention and if you’re friendly with your neighbors to let them know so if they hear it they know to come help!
That’s a brilliant idea, Cassie! I need to tell my family and friends about this!
Is it super loud? I am interested in such a device. I think the world around us demands that we carry something that will help us in such an event.
Yes, Terri it is loud.
What a great safety item that everyone should have on their keychain. I might consider getting one of these for my college age child to help make her feel safer .
I agree, Janel it is a great product to keep our children safe!
I think every woman should have a way to be able to defend themselves and this is a great idea for all women to have! I think I might get one.
I agree with you Robin!
Thank you for sharing this. It is definitely important to stay safe these days. I try to stay in the routine of letting loved ones know my whereabouts so if I dont check in they can call me, but this is something even better.
You’re welcome Vera!
What a great product – if you do something where you have to be out late at night or early in the morning.
I agree Debra!
This is so handy! It would be great for runners, for sure, but I can see how it would be great for anytime you have to go somewhere alone.
It is great to carry anywhere because it is small to take with you anywhere.
I love that little alarm and it is small and compact great for hiking, walking, running, whatever! It is important to be safe!
This is so true Daniella. It is great to carry for hiking, walking and running.
This personal alarm is a great tool to have if find yourself alone in dark places. I used to carry pepper spray on my keychain but I think this might be a much better option.
Pepper spray is great to carry as well Cindy!
This is really nice. I should get each of my twins one so that they can carry it with them any time. They’re in their twenties and I worry about them especially now that they have their own lives. I want to make sure that they’re safe all the time.
I agree! This product is great to give to teens and women in their twenties.
I have a daughter who is currently in college and I want to make sure that when she walks alone especially at night, she feels safe knowing that this can save her life. I think I should get her one of these!
That’s a great idea, Amanda! I also gave one to my daughter.
Sexual violence is far too prevalent and swept under the rug way too often. Thank you for opening up the conversation and for sharing a great way to keep women safe.
You’re welcome! It sure is swept under the rug.
This is something worth having. we live in a perverted world and little security things like this become precious in the time of danger.
I couldn’t agree more Shoshanna.
One cant ever be too safe against sexual assault! This is something everyone should have. Kids, women, men… anyone! I love how easy it is to activate it! In moments of need, simplicity is necessary.
This is true Karina. Sexual assault can happen to anyone including men and children.
Ooooo having one of these would be really great when traveling!! You never know what could happen when walking around a city. Better safe than sorry
This is so true Courtney!
I studied justice in college so a majority of my classes were about criminal behavior, victimology and the justice system. I’m always the girl telling my friends how to make safer choices. This looks like a great product to carry with your keys!
It sure is Heather!
This is a great product and so important. I was given mace to carry on my keychain when I went o college and was also scared that it might accidentally get sprayed. I would have much rather carried around an alarm.
Carrying mace is a great idea too!
This is cool and such a genius way to keep yourself safe, especially when traveling or if you live in a big city (NY, Chicago, etc). I’ve seen apps for your phone that do something like this!
Wow, I’ve never heard of an app doing this too!
