Synopsis
Business travel is essential in our expanding global marketplace. Each year, several hundred thousand men and women take business trips. And, each year, the number of women traveling on business rises. This trend will continue as women continue to broaden their presence within the corporate world. In order to promote business abroad, women must travel to virtually every corner of the globe, often to places presenting real dangers to their safety. Moreover, the majority of such corporate travelers, whether they are men or women, have never received any training in how to protect themselves. This lack of preparedness is often more hazardous to female business travelers as they are always exposed to greater risk than men. This year alone, hundreds of female executives and business women will be robbed, assaulted, kidnapped, and murdered. Tragically, most of these incidents could have been prevented by adherence to basic rules of personal safety. These principles are easy to understand and implement and can greatly reduce the likelihood that an individual will become the victim of violence. Each of us must understand and accept the fact that all of us are potentially at risk. We live in a dangerous world. News is not merely something that happens to other people. It can happen to anyone, anywhere, at anytime. Once that reality sinks in, you can begin to modify your behavior in a way that will make you less vulnerable.
