Personal Safety Tips for Women: Stay Empowered
This website is dedicated to providing personal safety tips for women and aims to help you reduce the risks of experiencing physical or sexual violence. Every woman deserves to live in a world where her safety and security is respected, free from the threat of physical or sexual violence. Her choice of attire, level of intoxication, or demeanour should never diminish her right to safety.
RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), the largest anti-sexual violence organisation in the United States, reports that every 68 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted, and approximately 1 in 6 American women has experienced an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. In the United Kingdom, Women’s Aid states that an estimated 1.4 million women experienced domestic abuse in the year ending March 2023. Meanwhile, in Australia, OurWatch, the leading organisation for the primary prevention of violence against women, reports that about 1 in 5 women (22%) have experienced sexual violence since the age of 15. These statistics underscore the widespread and pervasive nature of violence against women across different regions.

Striking a Balance Between Freedom and Personal Safety
I am acutely aware that some suggestions may feel restrictive to your freedom. Personal safety tips for women can indeed be limiting, sometimes preventing you from doing exactly what you want. Unfortunately, this is an unavoidable reality that I cannot change. You will need to find a balance between enjoying your freedom and ensuring your safety, which may involve doing things differently than you prefer or altering certain behaviours and habits altogether.
If you feel it is unfair and wrong that women must be cautious, careful, and conscious of their actions (limiting what, when, and how they want to do things) I wholeheartedly agree with you. It is unjust that women should have to change and adapt to a world where rape and sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking and other threats are all too common. So, I agree, it would be good, right, and just if the world were a place where women’s safety tips, advice, and strategies was unnecessary and irrelevant. But sadly, that is not the reality we face today.
