Protect Our Daughters!

It's the middle of March, and that means that high school graduation will soon be approaching in a couple of months.  Our daughters, sisters, nieces, and cousins will soon be heading off to college in the fall.  College means classes, new friends, socializing, no parents around, partying.  College also means walking across campus alone and living in dorms or apartments with or without roommates.  While college can be the best times of our lives, it can also be one of the most dangerous, especially for young women.

Now is the perfect time to check out Damsel In Defense products and give them a graduation gift that could just save their lives one day.  We all have this "it will never happen to me mentality", but the truth is, we NEVER know when or if it will happen to us.

The truth of the matter is that 1 in 5 women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetimes and that college aged women are 4 times more likely to be assaulted.  A sexual assault occurs every 2 minutes somewhere in the U.S. and and aggravated assault occurs every 35 seconds.  2/3 of assaults are committed by someone the victim actually knows and 80% of assault victims are under the age of 30!

We can take a stand.  We can make a difference in the lives of those of us around us.  We can prevent crimes by being proactive.  Let's work together to beat the statistics.  Let's work together to protect our daughters, sisters, nieces, and cousins.  Let's keep them from becoming a statistic!
