Women-watch your personal safety

A good friends sister has just been brought home from international travels after 2 men broke into her hotel room and raped her. I will buy one of these as soon as possible: http://www.personal-alarms.biz/

Please stay in safe hotels. She was not, on the advice of a fellow male backpacker who thought it would be fun to try the low-end part of town.

Fight back and explain to male friends/family if you need to be dropped home, stay in good hotels, live in safe housing...and otherwise look after your personal safety. Unfortunately Rape is Real.

It is important we constantly remind each other that this is real, and we need to be careful. Please tell other women you know who travel a lot and stay in hotels etc, alone.
