WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP PROTECT YOURSELVES?
Students living in Melbourne have offered the following practical advice:
(1)After 7 pm, always travel in the first compartment of the train.
(2)When walking to work or home, leave your MP3 player off, as you can easily get distracted.
(3)Stay alert and keep an eye out if someone is walking behind you.
(4)If you see a group of young men walking towards you, cross to the other side of the road or change direction.
(5)Be extremely cautious about reacting to any racial comment you hear.
(6)Never walk and talk on the phone at the same time on a lonely road.
(7)Make sure you have the Emergency number ‘000’ on speed dial.
(8)Never feel shy to seek help and shout if you feel you are in any kind of danger.
(9)Take extra care when working on night shifts. Many students work late night, especially in convenience stores and restaurants
(10)Always take a road that is well lit and has some traffic, even if it’s not the shortest way home.
(11)If you see or experience any attack, make sure you lodge a police complaint as most of these incidents never get reported.
