Sexual Assault Awareness Month

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Please help Desert Shield Personal Safety in educating and preventing sexual violence.

According to the National Violence Against Women Survey, "1 in 6 American women has been the victim of rape or attempted rape."

"Perpetrators of sexual assault can be friends, acquaintances, family members, or strangers. Working together, we can raise awareness, change attitudes, and help prevent sexual assault."

Being aware of your surroundings and prepared to defend yourself are just a couple of important steps in keeping safe against sexual assault. Many women have found that keeping a small defense pepper spray in their purse or pocket has allowed them the confidence that they would be ready to defend in the event that an attacker approached them. Others use a combination of self defense products such as stun guns, personal alarms and the new personal C2 TASER has become the weapon of choice for the safety conscious woman due to it's compact size and ease of use.

Please help protect our innocent mothers, sisters, daughters and other friends and relatives from becoming victims of sexual violence.
