The heart of the program

The ABC's — your number one defence

Awareness is the one habit that keeps you safe everywhere — in the street, at home, and online.

A
Awareness

Switch on. Turn on your "007 / terminator eyes" — use your peripheral vision to notice everyone and everything. Trust the feelings, places and people that don't feel right.

B
Body Language

Learn to read it in others — agitated? following you? too close? — and project your own: walk tall, shoulders back, eye contact. 70% of what you "say" is body language.

C
Communication

De-escalate with a calm voice, say "no" and set a boundary, and above all tell someone — call for help, reach a safe person, or call a helpline.

S
Self-confidence

Act brave; send a strong message.

A
Awareness

Your number one defence.

F
Focus

On what you want, not what you fear.

E
Expectation

Expect life to work with you.
