What should a woman do when sexually assaulted in an elevator?

Many people ask what should be done to escape if unlucky in that situation?

Talking to PV, Dr. Vu Thu Huong, former lecturer at the Department of Primary Education, Hanoi National University of Education, said that usually, the subject does not attack immediately, but will flirt, especially asking the number. phone number, home address, name.

In that situation, women should answer, rather than ignore their question . However, you should only say incorrect information and try to buy time until the elevator doors open and run out.

If the subject calls right away, finds the wrong number, read the number back to him and buy more time. During that time, the victim tried to move to the elevator door, when the door opened, ran out and called for help.

When attacking, the aggressors often tend to target the private area or kiss the lips. The victim should be in a standing position, with his arms crossed in front of him . When there are signs of being attacked, use both hands to try to push the opponent away.

In case the attacker shows signs of being drunk or intoxicated, the victim should not attack in the first place, but should negotiate and prolong the time.

“Attacking is just a last-minute defense when you can’t do anything anymore” – Dr. Vu Thu Huong advises – “When the opponent shows signs of anger or violence, try to calm him down, don’t let him feel bad. feel stressed or counterattacked. P Hai is more appeased than opposed ”.

When unfortunately in a similar situation, women can skillfully ask for information of the other party . Even take the initiative to ask to borrow a phone to get a contact number. A girl in Hong Kong (China) escaped sexual abuse by complimenting the killer’s body. According to the victim’s account, when the perpetrator tried to attack, she was full of flattery, compliments, then kicked his “dangerous place” and ran away.

In addition to ways to deal with “blue-bearded love” , Dr. Vu Thu Huong also shared more about how to handle when being watched by strangers. If you are being followed, try to walk normally towards the police and talk to them, she said. In case the bad guy does not leave, the female student can ask the police to take him home safely.

Female friends should avoid going to places that are too deserted, or when it is too early or too dark. If traveling alone on an empty street during the day, speed up and move to a crowded place. When they arrive at a crowded place, they suddenly stop, so the bad guys will be overdone and overtaken, unable to stop in time.

The female psychology doctor with many years of experience with counseling on prevention of school violence and child abuse advises that, after escaping danger, victims should report to the authorities and warn their friends.

If the incident occurs in the elevator, please notify the building management agency, please extract the camera to verify the identity of the perpetrator.

When everything is fine, young people can rest and travel to stabilize their psychology. A new space, a new school will help regain morale faster. If you don’t have too much time, you can also go to a quiet place to regain balance.

Ms. Huong said that the most abused subjects today are students, who are still at an age of mental and physiological development. If unfortunately being abused, parents need to encourage, share, help and take measures to protect their children from similar situations that may occur.
