Defending from Rape Attacks

Most of the time, when talking about self defence, it is referring a mugging attack, gang attack, a brawl with someone whilst on a night out or a rape attack. Defending from rape is something that nearly all women fear. Hopefully after reading this article, you may feel better equipped to deal with this unfortunate situation.

Firstly, IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO RUN AWAY FROM ANY TYPE OF ATTACK, including rape. If you have the chance to flee, do it quickly. If this option is not given to you then to stop the rape from happening you shall have to fight back.

If you are being held whilst standing, either by the wrists, shoulders, around the waist, or even the throat, you should have your legs free. Use them by kicking at the attackers shins and knees, stomp his feet or knee him in the groin. Do this as many times as needed for him to release his grip on you. As soon he has released, flea the area as soon as possible.

If you have been forced to the ground, again if your feet are free use them as above. Usually the attacker will be on top of you and his hands will be preoccupied. He may be holding one of your arms, but will be nearly impossible for him to be holding both of your arms, so with your free one, pull his hair, his ears, scratch his face, and punch him at vital spots like the eyes, nose or lips. Biting is also an option too. A bite anywhere will hurt. Good targets include fingers (if his covering your mouth) or anywhere on his face.

If you are on your front and your attacker is on your back, then the first thing you have to do is get on your back so you can see your attacker and defend better. Use your elbows and swing back towards your opponents head. Hitting him in the face or temple or ears will hurt. Do this as much as needed. Another option is to reach below grab his private parts and squeeze them as hard as you can. If he does not get distracted after this, then he is not human. Once he has been distracted, roll onto your front. Do this by rolling sideways or by rolling forwards just like a forwards tumble. From here you shall be able to see your attacker, defend yourself more efficiently if needed, or get up and flee if the option is presented to you.

Of course there is never a guarantee that any of the above will work, but there is a good chance. If you are attacked by a rapist, although it will be terrifying, do your best to face the fear and fight back if fleeing away is not an option, and hopefully you stop the attack. Good Luck
