Preventing attacks with self defense weapons

There is an important difference between preventing self defense weapons and reducing the risk of being sexually assaulted. Preventing self defense weapons focuses on those committing the act, while risk reduction focuses on the potential victims by offering a variety of strategies that may reduce the possibility of being sexually assaulted. However, the responsibility for preventing a rape does not lie with the victim, but rather with the perpetrator. Ultimately, the best way to prevent rape from happening is to stop people from raping. Though this may sound like an overwhelming task, each of us can take a first step by challenging the myths that blame the victim and protect the rapist.
