What Can Women Do to Avoid Sexual Harassment When Traveling?

The women of today are venturing out and traveling more globally then at any time in history. Female travelers, whether traveling alone or as a group, are encountering different cultures, religions, and societies.  With this freedom comes some risks that men may never encounter. It is therefore a good idea for women to learn how to handle themselves when vacationing, studying abroad, or traveling on business.

Here are some things you can do that may help you have a safer as well as a more enjoyable travel experience.

If you are traveling, or on vacation, your best protection is to understand the local culture and customs of the country you are visiting.  What you observe when you watch how the local women behave and dress will give you valuable clues on how to avoid sexual harassment.

When the local women cover their hair and their arms and legs then you should do that also.  Don't  wear  bikinis, swimsuits, or short shorts in towns where the local women are all covered up.  It's prudent to dress conservatively.

Be sure to avoid direct eye contact with men as they might think you're flirtatious.  Do not speak, smile, or wave at strange men who may smile or say hello to you.  If a man begins to follow you, cross to the other side of street.  If this tactic doesn't work, find a policeman, or go into a store and ask for help. 

When you need to ask directions, always ask a woman.  And, if you are traveling by bus or train, you should always sit with other women.

A great idea is to always carry a versatile head scarf in your handbag just in case you need to cover your head and arms.

You may want to wear a fake wedding ring to help ward off and discourage any unwanted male advances if you are not married.

Don't forget to wear a referee's whistle around your neck under your blouse.  It might come in handy.

Consult guide books on the countries and areas that you are traveling to or through to give you a heads up on what to expect.  Also, carry a foreign language phrase book with you to help you communicate with people when you get there.

It's not a good idea to wear expensive looking jewelry, watches, carrying cases digital cameras, or even designer handbags.  You don't want to attract any muggers or robbers.  Pack a conservative outfit to wear in case you need one for certain occasions.

If you are going to travel alone, it's better to travel light.  For one thing you will be more mobile if you aren't loaded down with luggage.   If it's not too small for your belongings, a wheeled, carry-on bag, or a backpack may be you best bet.  It is important to try and have one hand free at all times.  Having two hands free is even better.  You should take a shoulder bag that has a strong, wide strap that can fit over your head.  Wearing the shoulder bag in this way can help prevent a thief from grabbing the bag and running away with it.   Also, the bag should have secure, zippered pockets.

My girlfriend got court ordered to a mental ward, how do I get her out?

I have seen her have multiple seizures and she doesn't take her meds so I told the social worker in the ER and said she had attempted suicide once about 8 years ago when I didn't know her, but I know it to be true. She is such a happy go lucky woman, and for the past week she has been miserable locked up in the mental ward, I put her in there and now I cant get her out. I don't know what to do?

yuk, those aren't exactly the sort of place that makes you feel happy.

to help you out i need more details, why exactly wont they let her leave? what have they diagnosed her with? does she normally see a psychologist when she's not in there?
and is what you wrote up there the exact reason she was admitted? because she hadn't been taking her meds? (i don't think the attempted suicide would be a factor because it was 8 years ago). if you can tell me these i might be able to help more. my brother was in a place like that earlier this year.

Mrs Humphrey Ward $3.95 Victorian novelist Mary Ward, best known to her contemporaries as Mrs. Humphry Ward, was one of the most successful and complex women of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Born into the powerful but patriarchal dynasty of Thomas Arnold of Rugby, she lived at the center of an intellectual and cultural circle peopled by such eminent figures as Mark Pattison, Thomas Huxley, and Charles Darwin. Her novel Robert Elsmere (1888), the first in a series of bestsellers, earned her both unprecedented sums of money and the critical respect of such writers as Henry James. She helped found Somerville College, Oxford, the University's first institution of higher education of women, and helped create a number of play centers for the children of London's working poor. And as the first woman reporter to enter the trenches in 1916, she wrote articles that were instrumental in bringing America into the war. In Mrs. Humphry Ward, John Sutherland explores a goldmine of materials never before available to recapture a fascinating life, one in which extraordinary achievements were often overshadowed by private misfortune. Sutherland describes how Ward's parents' marriage was shattered by her father's religious peregrinations (an Anglican, he converted to Roman Catholicism, then returned to the Church of England, then became a Catholic again), how her own remarkable success placed considerable stress on her marriage, and how all her resources (both financial and emotional) went to support a renegade, spendthrift, and disappointing son. And he also sheds light on one of the great paradoxes of this accomplished woman's life--that she led the fight to block woman's suffrage. Throughout, Sutherland writesmovingly of the private life of a remarkable public figure. A fascinating study of how much a woman could and could not do in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, this engaging biography illuminates the intellectual climate of the late 19th century.
