Elder Abuse among women and She Team




Elder Abuse among women and She Team

I am re-producing the following advice / guidelines from Hyderabad Police - SHE TEAM web page giving advice to women on safeguarding themselves. She Team is quick to act, fully understand what is to be done and reach out to women in distress.  They work in plain clothes to keep a watch over miscreants, eve-teasers, stalkers, molesters and rapists.
They are a great help and solace for harassed women. We should spread the news about this special source of help.


She Team may be approached in a number of ways:

Dial 100
tweet@hydsheteam
Hawkeye app on mobile phone
LL 040-27852355
FB/sheeteamhyd
hydsheteam@gmail.com
WhatsApp: 9490616555


The person who alerts She Team in emergencies affecting women, is assured that he / she will not be harassed. So anyone witnessing a crime can reach out to She Team

Awareness

Your first line of defence. Most people think of kicks to the groin and blocking punches when they hear the term “self-defence.” However, true self-defence begins long before any actual physical contact. The first, and probably most important, component in self-defence is awareness: awareness of yourself, your surroundings, and your potential attacker’s likely strategies. The criminal’s primary strategy is to use the advantage of surprise. Studies have shown that criminals are adept at choosing targets who appear to be unaware of what is going on around them. By being aware of your surroundings and by projecting a “force presence,” many altercations which are commonplace on the street can be avoided.

ESCAPE
Always your best option. What if the unpredictable happens? You are suddenly confronted by a predator who demands that you go with him–be it in a car, or into an alley, or a building. It would seem prudent to obey, but you must never leave the primary crime scene. You are far more likely to be killed or seriously injured if you go with the predator than if you run away (even if he promises not to hurt you). Run away, yell for help, throw a rock through a store or car window–do whatever you can to attract attention. And if the criminal is after your purse or other material items, throw them one way while you run the other.

Self-defence Training.
It is important to evaluate the goals and practical usefulness of a women’s self-defence program before signing up. The self-defence program should include simulated assaults, with a fully padded instructor in realistic rape and attack scenarios, to allow you to practice what you’ve learned.

Safety in Cyberspace
Although the Internet is educational and entertaining, it can also be full of danger if one isn’t careful. When communicating on-line, use a nickname and always keep personal information such as home address and phone number confidential. Instruct family members to do the same. Keep current on security issues, frauds, viruses, etc. by periodically referring to “The Police Notebook” Internet Safety Page.
