If it’s just you and the gurls (or guys) going out on the town, make a pact to watch out for each other, so no one wakes up with regrets the morning after. Come up with a sign or signal for when you should intervene if someone is in an uncomfortable situation and don’t be afraid to speak up or step in and investigate if a situation seems questionable to you. By getting involved early, you could prevent someone from becoming the victim of sexual assault OR prevent someone you know from committing this crime!
If you’re driving to the party or club, designate a sober driver for the evening and vow never to get into a vehicle with someone who’s drunk/high. Agree to all leave together but always have a pre-planned way home (and spare cash in hand) just in case. Program a few car service numbers into your cell phone speed dial or find out if there’s a ride service, like RightRides, in your area that gives women free rides home late at night.
