Walk briskly and look alert. Ninety percent of students say they do. This is really import. If you look confident and appear to know where you are going, your chances of being a target decreases. Women who walk with slumped shoulders, or seem lost or look confused, appear to be easy targets.
Body language is important.
Rapists are much more likely to attack a person who projects a poor image - like she is lost or doesn't know where she is going. Realize that your image is projected to the rest of the world. If, on a bus, you constantly try to see what street the bus is stopping at, you are telling a potential rapist that either you don't know where you are, or you don't know where you are going. Never fall asleep on public transportation if you are alone. If a stranger approaches you and asks for the time, make brief eye contact.
