Tough Mark for Women

How Safe Are Your Loved Ones?
We all want our loved ones to be safe; we tell them things like, “ be careful out there,” “ drive safe,” and “ don’t forget your phone,” hoping they’ll listen to us. But what if we could do more? What if instead of telling our loved ones to be safe, we could actually show them—and ourselves—how?
That’s what this book is about. It’s a different and realistic approach to personal security that anyone can use. It works for young people living away from home for the first time, older adults, and parents who are concerned about the safety of their children. Your age, gender, living situation, and even your physical fitness do not matter! Tough Mark focuses on prevention and shows you how to actually make yourself less attractive to a predator.
Learn how to make yourself a harder target for any predator or assault.
• Understand the mindset of predators and use that knowledge to avoid becoming a victim
• Identify – and avoid – potentially dangerous people and situations
• Recognize possible dangers you face every day, and take simple steps to reduce your risk
• Diffuse threatening situations using specific verbal techniques before they get out of hand
• Spot the warning signs of a potentially abusive relationship and effective ways to respond
• If you are ever face to face with an attacker, be able to use everyday objects, as well as your own body, as effective weapons against the vulnerable parts of the assailant’s body
Don’t allow yourself or someone you love to remain an easy target for predators.
With the help of this book, you will become a Tough Mark who’s less vulnerable and more in control of your personal safety.
