The best way to be safe when walking outside will be to walk in an area you know and trust. Violence is rare and can often be avoided. Be sure to walk tall and look confident. If walking in the early morning or evening, wear bright colors and be sure to walk in well lit areas. You should feel safe where you walk so avoid putting yourself at risk.
