Annotation
This pamphlet uses line drawings and an outline format to explain the nature of rape and rapists and to suggest ways that women can protect themselves against it and actions they should take if they are raped.
Abstract
The guidelines cover precautions to take at home, when walking, and when riding or driving. Women are urged to be realistic if attacked, to try to get away rather than defeat the attacker, and to get help for their emotional and medical concerns after an attack. Guidelines for reporting to the police are also given.
