Why Personal Safety is important in today's society
In early March 2021, The World Health Organisation published a report saying that 1 in 3 women globally have experienced physical and sexual violence in their lifetime.
It’s worthwhile noting that the Office of National Statistics Crime Survey for England and Wales for the year ending March 2020 (which due to Covid-19 was the last time such a detailed survey was taken), reported that 618,000 women and 155,000 men were estimated to have been victims, or attempted victims of rape or sexual assault. That's more than 70 women in England and Wales experiencing at least 1 of these offences every hour.
The shocking statistics on these types of criminal offences alone prove that there is an urgent need for protection from all types of criminal behaviour including drinks being spiked, revenge porn, stalking, domestic abuse, harassment and on-line abuse. Unwanted behaviour such as wolf-whistling, catcalling or making lewd comments could also become criminal offences under new proposals by The Law Commission.
Current legislation and proposals from influential government bodies aside, personal protection is something every individual needs to consider very seriously, and ideally have in place in today’s ever threatening society. Remember, protection comes in the form of many guises, including running away!
“In today’s unpredictable world, it’s imperative we all take as much care as possible with regards to our personal safety, and those of our loved ones.
There are a number of ways this can be done; through better education and understanding of our surroundings, paying more attention when we’re out and about, or through the use of safety items such as personal alarms when confronted by a perceived, or actual life-threatening situation.
My Personal Safety’s mission is to make people’s lives safer.”
