Public Transportation Can Be Dangerous

Many Americans are turning to public transportation to go to work and back. With gas prices almost hitting the $4 mark, it's no wonder that we are! One thing that we need to be concerned about when taking public transportation is personal safety. This has been an issue in the past and it is still a concern today. I'm not referring to the mechanical issues occurring lately but rather the criminal issues.

Let's face it, when you take the bus, trolly or train, you no longer have the personal safety you had while you sat in your own car, with your doors locked! This points to a must have for you, especially if you're a woman, you need a personal safety product. A personal safety product such as a personal alarm, pepper spray or stun gun, is a must if you take public transportation. In fact 20 years ago, I started taking public transportation in Atlanta, and purchased a stun gun, just to go through the huge parking lot at my neighborhood's train station! It got pretty scary during the dark winter months, after 5 PM.

Personal safety products are very affordable. You can purchase a pepper spray from our store for as low as $6 or even a Mace Emergency Whistle for just $4.95. There simply is no excuse for not carrying some protection!

Is it Perfume or is it Pepper Spray?

That's something for women to know and for potential attackers to find out, with an element of surprise!

One of the best things about having a weapon, is that you can keep it hidden away or in this case, disguised. Thats what these pepper spray containers on our website are; hidden in your pocket, purse, or backpack and disguised as perfume! They even contain 17% pepper concentration, versus other brands that contain 10%.

Our Perfume Pepper Sprays, have an element of surprise against an attacker. Picture yourself on a date with a new person, that starts to get a little aggressive towards you. The aggression starts to escalate... You decide to pretend that you welcome the passion and just want to freshen up, while you pop out your perfume! Little does the potential attacker know that what your hands hold, is in fact a weapon! You play along and open your perfume container, or so they think... Then, instead of aiming the supposed perfume towards yourself, you spray it directly into their eyes! Problem solved. You leave the scene. If you feel the attacker was a potential future threat to you or other women, you follow thru and call the police when you get to a safe place. This pepper spray also contains a UV die, that helps police identify the attacker too!

This particular pepper spray weapon comes in 3 colors; black, pink and purple. It also is available in 3 different shapes; round, triangular and heart shaped.

Compact Flashlight & Safety Weapon in One

Looking to get a flashlight that is as small as your hand and also serves as a safety weapon? Tired of buying batteries for your old flashlight?

The Stun Gun Flashlight Security doesn't only help you see in the dark, but it can also protect you from an attacker. As the name implies, it is also a 4 million volt personal safety stun gun! If someone tries to physically hurt you, just touch them with this weapon and they will back off or simply fall down! As a matter of fact, just aiming this weapon up in the air and setting it off, makes a loud electrical sound that will deter any criminal from getting too close.

The safety features of this flashlight and stun gun in one, are also noteworthy. Besides having a flashlight with stun gun capabilities, it also is rechargeable, no batteries necessary. A rubberized armor coating makes it easy to hold, preventing it from slipping easily from your fingers and it has a holster too! Plus, as if that wasn't enough features, let's not forget that it also has a LIFETIME WARRANTY!

Hidden Safes for Today's Economy!

Not trusting banks with your money lately? Are you cashing your checks and avoiding bank deposits?

If you feel like most Americans do, nowadays, and you are trying to use more cash than checks and credit cards, this information might help you manage some of your money.

One of the things that might give you some peace of mind in today's economy, is having a hidden safe for your money, in your house, business or even college dorm! We aren't talking about those expensive wall holes that would cost you an arm and a leg. Most people can't afford them! We are talking about hidden safes that look like common things you have around your home or office. Disguised safes have been around for years and they may be more useful in today's economy.

Hidden safes can look like a simple soda can, wall clock, book or even a hair brush. These are perfect for hiding a roll of cash! Some people also use them to store jewelry too. They are also handy to hide important keys. In fact we also have hidden safes that look like a rock, where you can hide an extra set of keys, if you get locked out of your house!

It's nice to have some cash around the house in this economy, especially when people don't know you have it!

Alarms for Mothers with Wandering Toddlers

Are you a mother with a toddler or do you know someone that is?

It's very common to hear about mothers losing their toddlers in department stores. A child is just as excited as the mother, about what's in the store! Toddlers, specifically, go haywire in stores because there are so many colors and so much action happening around them. We all have seen mothers going around in stores with a leash attached to their toddler, to prevent them from leaving their side. I don't know about you, but is seems a little degrading to have toddlers on safety leashes... Fortunately there is a better solution to this safety problem.

The Child Safety Panda Alarm is not a leash. Mothers don't have to tie their toddlers down. Instead, they hear a constantly beeping alarm that notifies them if their small one exceeds the monitored area. All mothers have to do is attach the small monitor on their keychain and place the alarm transmitter on their infant's wrist. The Child Panda Alarm can be adjusted from 3 to 21 feet!

Women On Guard™ Pepper Spray Donation to Arizona Women’s Sexual Assault Center

PRESS RELEASE:
Women On Guard donated pepper spray to the Northern Arizona Center Against Sexual Assault. Step by step, they are slowly helping women, to be safer across the country.

Oakland Park, FL, February 22nd 2012. This is the 25th donation from this Certified WBENC, Women’s Business Enterprise, to a women’s sexual assault center or similar cause. The WomenOnGuard.com website was initiated in October of 2006.

The Northern Arizona Center Against Sexual Assault (NACASA) has 13 locations throughout northern Arizona. They provide medical, forensic examinations and Rape Kits, in a calm, quiet and confidential setting. NACASA also provides medication to stop sexually transmitted infections, plus emergency contraception. Sexual assault survivor support service, mental health counseling and support groups are also available.  For more information about NACASA go to their website.

Susan Eaton and Martha Z. Martinez, co-owners of Women On Guard, mentioned, "On a daily basis, American women are sexually assaulted or beaten every few minutes all over our country. We hear about foreign countries on how men rape women, but neglect to face our culpability on how we treat our own women in the USA. The violence is so often, that the newscasters, just ignore most of these crimes. That’s where the problem becomes worse. Because ignoring it, just makes it okay for rapists and domestic violence abusers, to get away with it.” Susan went on to say, “Our court system also needs to change regarding how these horrible crimes are punished. Many of these domestic violence and sexual assault offenders, are let back out into society, way too soon. Not only that, but they go out into society and repeat the same offense, over and over again. Going back and forth in and out of prison and the streets is not a solution. Sexual assault offenders in particular are known to be repeat offenders.” WomenOnGuard.com is very aware of the many assaults. They receive many phone calls from customers, explaining how rampant this violence is and how fearful these women are. Many callers are actual victims themselves of rape or domestic violence or know of someone that was a victim and that is in need of a self defense product.

WomenOnGuard.com sells non-lethal self defense products or weapons such as Mace, pepper spray, stun guns, personal alarms and even Tasers. The website includes safety tips, hotlines and a Blog. Women On Guard, as mentioned before, also donates on a regular basis to a women’s crisis center or similar cause, across the nation.

How Safe is Your Daughter at College?

When most parents send their daughters to a university, what they think mostly of, is how well will she do in her classes and how much it's going to cost financially. Unfortunately parents don't think about how safe their daughters will be, unless they hear about some rapist, attacking college women.

Most statistics point out that 1 in every 4 women in college becomes a rape victim. 38% Of the time, the rapist is someone your daughter might know. Freshman and sophomores' first few weeks are one of the most dangerous times for college women. Alcohol plays a significant factor because 90% of the time rapes occur, alcohol is involved. Plus, this is the most disturbing of all figures, only 10% of college women, report the rapist.

Women On Guard, being aware of this, has a special safety package deal for students that attend higher education facilities. We offer a package that can help your daughter defend herself, on campus and in her dorm. It's the top item in our Package Deals category, the "College Safety Package". It consists of a 17% pepper concentration pepper spray, a 1.2 million volts rechargeable stun gun pen and a 120 db keychain personal alarm. You can read the details on each item, by clicking on the link above.

We hope that every parent will consider their daughter's safety along with her other achievements, and encourage other parents to do the same.

Doctors and Medical Staff Committing Sexual Assault

Hal Weston

What is it lately, that some medical staff are being arrested for committing sexual assault? Last week there was an ER Tech, Hal Weston, arrested for allegedly taking advantage and sodomizing an unconscious male patient under anesthesia in Utah. Today in the news there was a doctor from Connecticut, Edwin A. Njoku, M.D., that was accused of committing sexual assault on a female patient and then trying to shut her up by bribing her.

Edwin A. Njoku

I know there are laws in place for gynecologists to have an extra staff member in the room when they perform exams. Does this law apply to all doctors? You would think so. If this doctor is charged with the crime, should he also face repercussions for not having a 3rd party present when the examination took place?

I guess us women are going to have to start carrying pepper spray to our doctor's offices too! And no, I don't mean this as a joke, seriously.

Susan B. Anthony List, Writes Legislation that Hurts New Hampshire Women

Photo from Wikipedia

New Hampshire is considering getting rid of laws that protect domestic violence victims and is also considering defunding Planned Parenthood. This is a double whammy against women in New Hampshire, especially for low-income women! These laws were written by the Susan B. Anthony List (not to be confused with other Susan B. Anthony organizations) and the Alliance Defense fund.

The House of representatives in the state voted 207 to 147, to prohibit funding from the state to any clinic that provides abortions, which includes Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood, besides performing abortions, also provides breast exams and pap smears among other services in various states. This breaks a forty year stance of New Hampshire to assist family planning services and abortions.

Today New Hampshire is also considering a bill that requires an officer to actually witness a domestic violence incident, in order for him or her to make an arrest. Even if the woman is bleeding or bruised up, the officer cannot take the abuser into custody, unless they come back with a warrant for the domestic violence. Along with this absurd law the state is also voting on a separate law that limits the grounds or reasons for which an officer can arrest an abuser.

Can you imagine what the real Susan B. Anthony, the women's civil rights leader, would have thought about this?
