Fighting Back A. Body alarms These are devices that when pulled, trigger a loud piercing sound which attracts attention to you. B. Use your body Physically resisting makes sense if you are certain the rapist is unarmed and if you think it won't make him angrier. If you think that your natural reaction would be to fight, make sure you are aware of an attacker's vulnerable body areas such as the groin, eyes and Adam's Apple. C. Take care in using weapons Use anything that may help you escape, but consider that any weapon you use may be taken by the rapist and used against you. Use only what is easily available.
Guns are another means of self-protection, but they are very dangerous.
Remember, you are a Survivor. Actions taken by a victim after she has been raped are very important. Though it may be difficult, it is always better to report a rape than to keep it to yourself. Immediate and successful prosecution may stop the rapist from assaulting someone in the future. Often the only witness in a rape case is the victim, so it is important for you to remember as much as you can about the assailant.
