Do you know how to fight correctly?
Do you know how to use a knife effectively?
And be able to use it instantly with one hand?
Do you know how to be dead in your eyes and show NOTHING?
All these things make a person more confident that they have more power.
If you feel more confident, then you can often verbally get out of situations. Or de-escalate them.
There's no guarantees, but you can tip the scales more in your favor.
I saw a thing on TV where they had special self defense classes for women who had been assaulted. The focus was not only fight, but whole body language and self esteem etc. Wonder if there's anything like that around for you?
Might be useful?
