You're walking down a quiet street late at night and you're starting to feel uneasy. A compact shrill alarm can be an indispensable helper at exactly this moment. Attached to your bag or jacket, it's always ready to hand: one pull and a loud alarm sounds, scaring off attackers and alerting passers-by. This small but powerful alarm is a valuable companion, especially in remote areas.
Tip: Many shrill alarms have an integrated LED lamp that provides you with additional light in dark moments. This allows you to keep a better eye on your surroundings even on dark paths.
2. PHONE-TO-PHONE CHARGING CABLE – FOR A FULL BATTERY ON THE GO
Suddenly you notice that your cell phone battery is empty and you feel uneasy on the way home. With a mini charging cable for cell phone-to-cell phone charging, you can get help quickly in this situation: Simply connect the cable to a friend's smartphone and you'll get enough battery to stay reachable. Small and handy, it fits in any bag and gives you a safety net in case of an emergency.
Tip: A universal cable with USB-C and Lightning connectors is particularly practical and compatible with various devices.
3. TRACKER CARD FOR YOUR VALUABLES AND SECURITY
If you're out and about without your phone but still want to be safe, a compact tracker card in your jacket pocket or wallet offers security. This discreet card can be tracked via an app, and friends or family can see your location if you want to share it. This means you're also safe in situations where your phone isn't available.
Tip: A tracker card with a long battery life fits perfectly in your wallet or jacket pocket, ensuring greater security.
4th DARE TO ASK FOR HELP
Do you sometimes feel unsafe and wish someone was looking out for you? A quick message or call to friends or family can be reassuring. Ask them if they can call you until you get home. Knowing that someone is waiting for you and looking out for you can make you feel calmer and safer - and makes your loved ones feel better too.
Tip: Arrange a short feedback upon arrival – this way, those around you will know that you have arrived safely.
5th SAFETY THROUGH TRAINING – GET A GOOD FEELING!
Are you traveling alone and want to feel safe and strong? A self-defense course gives you the confidence and tools you need in an emergency situation. Such courses not only offer effective techniques, but also promote your mental strength and determination. There are special programs for women and children in particular that prepare you specifically for emergencies and strengthen your sense of security.
Tip: Regular training helps you to appear more confident in unpleasant situations and to deescalate conflicts early on.
ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR MAXIMUM SAFETY:
- Prefer well-lit, busy and familiar streets. This way you will be visible in an emergency and can easily reach help.
- When it's dark, stay in the middle of the road. Dark alleys and driveways remain in view, which prevents surprises.
- Stay alert and keep an eye on your surroundings. Attentive behavior helps you identify potential dangers early on.
- Take off your headphones and keep your ears free. Without distraction, you can hear ambient noise and react quickly.
- Keep your cell phone handy and make sure it has a full battery. A charged cell phone is not only important for emergencies, but also gives you the opportunity to contact friends quickly.
- Create distance from provocative people by addressing them formally. Politeness creates distance and can deescalate conflicts.
- Shout loudly in case of danger, e.g. “Let me go!” Shouts or a shrill alarm can draw the attention of passers-by to you and deter attackers.
- In an emergency, dial 110. The police are just a call away.
