HOW TO AVOID RAPE

For you to avoid rape, you need to be extremely careful like i mentioned earlier on.
1. Avoid staying out late: Most rape cases are mostly committed in the evening hours or night, so it is important you tidy up what is keeping you outside your house and rush home before it is dark.
2. Avoid Alcoholic beverages: Most people take advantage of rape victims especially when they are intoxicated and drunk. When one is excessively drunk, they are helpless and with that, a rape act is committed leaving the victim helpless and humiliated.
3.Avoid close contact with an opposite sex in a lonely place: Here is not really saying you should isolate yourself from people, but it is important you avoid close contact with an opposite sex and people who you feel want to have sex with you especially when you have no relationship with them.
Meet them in open areas and streets, restaurants and must be during the day.
4. Avoid already opened drinks and meals: Drinks and meals are easy substance a rape suspect may use in getting you; so it is important you witness how and when your drinks were opened and how the meal was dished out.
Any juice already opened should first be tasted by the suspect before you also have a taste of it, so you won't fall asleep or fall for them before you know it.
Also it is important that parents watch their kids closely especially the girl child.
Rape is a serious offence and is against the law as suspects will either end up in jail or face serious sanction.
