Micro Reminder
What all girls should pay attention to: This tragic incident reminds us that when traveling alone, we must stay alert—don’t go to designated locations with strangers, avoid unlicensed taxis, avoid carpooling with strangers, choose the side near the elevator buttons when in an elevator... Girls are inherently vulnerable. For the sake of those around us, spread the word. @People's Daily
How to escape if in danger: ①If robbed: Your life comes first—throw your valuables away and run in the opposite direction; ②If facing a home invasion robbery: Lock yourself in your room, find something to defend yourself with, and call the police immediately; ③If kidnapped: Try to lower the perpetrator’s guard while stalling, and look for sharp objects to cut your restraints; ④If being followed: Don’t go straight back to your residence—take a taxi to a busy public place or ask a passerby to accompany you. @People's Daily
