How many of us can admit to lately being so glued to our smartphones that we’re not aware of our environment? Or how about the many times you’ve walked down a dark street at night, by yourself? In fact, according to a recent Gallup poll, only 62 percent of women in the United States feel safe walking alone at night, as compared to 89 percent of men. A 2011 government survey further revealed that “24 people per minute are victims of rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in the United States.”
So tell us: have you ever been in a situation where you felt your safety was threatened? What precautions do you take for your safety?
