11/26: Statistics about rape and sexual assault

If you have not seen the numbers before, the statistics below are shocking.
You might want to think twice about reading them if you are a sympathetic, empathic person.

However, this is what it is: women or men, kids or adults of all ethnic backgrounds could be sexually assaulted...

11/22: Pepper Spray on board of an airliner

I'm going abroad and want to take along some pepper spray.
I called my airline and they said that I can bring the spray (if I check it as cargo) but it needs to be non-aerosol.
Was wondering if you have something that might fit the bill.

Thanks.

Would you let me know what is the distance the stream of spray is?

Does pepper spray have an experation date? Does it lose power over a certain time period? Just wondering, had a conversation with a co-employee, of which has a daughter in college and she stated that her daughter has been carring the same bottle for over two year. And I heard that is lost the power if it was old. Could you please verify.

11/20: P. Kennedy

Recently a friend of mine received a lewd note under her door from a suspicious tenant. He has also left a note under mine and has harassed several other residents in our building, Bridgeport Suites.

Our Building Manager, Tom Zavislak, and the company, Woodward Properties, has not done anything to ensure the safety of its tenants, especially the women. I am motivated to not only have this guy removed and arrested but to promote women's self defense in general.

Any information you could send me would be greatly appreciated.
If I could afford to I would not only move out but purchase 2 of everything on this site, one for me and one for my friend."

Dear Staff at DefendingWomen.com,

Thank you so much for such an immediate and positive response! I never would have expected such great feedback!
If I could suggest one thing that you offer college students some sort of discount. Or as a promotion if you sent college women, sororities, sports teams coupons or sponsored on-campus events.

I STILL see women, of all ages, but in particular college girls running at night, walking alone at night on or off campus and it's too easy to be a target.
I know so many young ladies who live alone that don't know if they are being targetted, myself included. We desserve such liberties but unfortunately there are too many predators waiting to take advantage of that. Your phone call and email were both very touching and I appreciate that you took my comment seriously.

I will certainly encourage people to go to your site.
