In a world where women’s safety is a growing concern, it’s heartening to see brave women sharing their safety strategies to help others avoid danger. One woman’s story, in particular, highlights the importance of being prepared and aware of one’s surroundings.
The woman was shopping at a mall with her husband when she realized she needed to use the restroom. Her husband waited in the car while she went inside. That’s when she noticed a man following her. Luckily, she had read a post online about what to do if you’re being followed.
One piece of advice that stuck with her was to never enter a public bathroom if someone suspicious is following you. She promptly exited the bathroom and entered the main shopping area, but the man continued to follow her. Undeterred, she remembered another tip: to calmly turn and enter a store that the suspected person would not typically have interest in.
She spotted a dollhouse store and quickly made her way inside. The man followed her, but she remained calm. When she exited the store, the man was still following her. That’s when she grabbed her phone and called her husband, loudly saying, “I’m being followed by the man behind me.” Her husband rushed to her aid, and the man quickly fled the scene.
This woman’s story is a testament to the power of being prepared and aware of one’s surroundings. By remembering the safety tips she had read online, she was able to protect herself from a potentially dangerous situation. Her bravery and quick thinking are an inspiration to us all.
