Advice for Women

Start your day with whatever your basic rituals are.

Follow what has been taught by the elders and the wise. Your routine depends on your life, your situation, your clock, your responsibilities, and your own discipline.

But once you step out, don’t step out unprepared.

Always have these in your EDC (Everyday Carry):

A valid ID card.
One good debit or credit card not your whole wallet.
A little bit of emergency cash.
A fully charged phone.
A power bank or charging cable.
Pepper spray, if legal in your area.
A loud whistle.
A personal safety alarm.
A compact flashlight.
A sharp pocket knife, around four inches, only if legal where you live. Check your local laws and carry it responsibly.
A multitool.
A car window breaker even if you don't own a car.
Keys on a strong carabiner keychain.
A small pen.
A clean handkerchief.
Sanitary pad(s) or tampon(s).
Basic medicines you may need.
A couple of band-aids.
Safety pins.
A small emergency contact card.
And most importantly, awareness.

This is not about living in fear.

This is about not depending on luck.

Carry what helps you stay safe, solve problems, protect yourself, and assist someone else when needed.

Don’t carry what you don’t know how to use.

And don’t carry anything without knowing the law of the place you live in.

Your EDC should say one thing about you: I am prepared.
