Assault
I do not think there is a way to prevent from being assaulted. I think we could take precautions as women to reduce our risk of being assaulted. Women should not be alone at night time, and avoid dark alleys. If you feel like someone is following or watching you then you may want to stop somewhere that feels and looks safe, and well lit. I would never stop somewhere dark and somewhere you are not familiar. What is sad is that you may never know the person is about to attack you due to it may be someone you know and trust. So matter what you may think you may not be safe with your friends and family. Just always be aware of your surroundings. Be alert always as well.

Staying alert is the biggest precaution to take. An assault is something that is difficult to go through, because it usually is by someone you know.
Christina,
I'm glad you mentioned that it is relatively common for women to be assaulted by people they are close to. I think it is so important for women to be careful who they get into relationships with and trust with their lives. I did some research on an organization called Denton County Friends of the Family for another course, and learned a lot about domestic violence and how commone it really is. It's really a scary thing that we need to be aware of and cautious about.
Staying alert and aware of your surroundings is very important. Unfortunantly you never know who may attack you. Most people seem super nice and great when you first meet them. It takes years to truly get to know someone.
