Dedicated to educating women in personal Safety and showing them a Defensive Living strategy and trusting in themselves can reduce their probability of becoming a victim of a crime.
In Street Smart Safety for Women, retired Deputy Sheriff Joy Farrow and technologist Laura Frombach, herself a survivor of a violent household, draw on their experiences both personal and professional to provide those answers.
Women are terrified and they are looking for answers.
Though everyone is talking about how women continue to be less safe, few offer solutions.
This inability to listen to ourselves and be persuasion-proof directly affects our personal Safety and data shows that attacks on women continue to escalate daily across the world, inside and outside of the home.
As the result, we are left generally defenseless to recognize predators who manipulate our natural compassion, to our own detriment.
As women, it is so ingrained in us to attend to everyone else, including strangers on the street, before we listen to ourselves, that we have lost touch with our innate ability to often detect dangerous situations.
Women have been culturally trained to discount one of their greatest protections - Safety intuition.
Social conditioning--the way our systems of family life, education, employment, entertainment and pop culture, spirituality and religion influence us-- leaves many of us ill-equipped to deal not only with this escalating surge of attacks, but also the unrelenting prevalence of sexual assault, domestic violence, and scams.
There\'s an even more serious challenge that faces women today.
And, for the first time in history, the toxic cocktail of technology and social media has weaponized misogyny and virtualized violence against women.
The threats women face today are unparalleled and more dangerous than ever before.
Violence against women is a global health issue.
