How to defend yourself when being attacked from behind?

Yea, you may find yourself in a location where an audience is not readily available. Do not verbally engage the person harassing you unless they make a move to approach you or you feel in immediate danger. If they start toward you, do not hesitate to scream and yell so that people in the area might hear you and look out their windows. Yell the phrases above, or make it very clear that contact isn't welcome with a firm, loud "BACK OFF!" or "GO AWAY!" Be firm. Commit and do not waver or sound unsure. I tend to throw in a few swear words for good measure, but that's just me. 

Pepper Spray -- Relatively easy to find at places like hardware stores or sporting goods stores. Go for the handheld size, not the giant bear-repellent size you might buy for camping. Most models have a little safety cap above the trigger to make it nearly impossible to press the button on accident. An elastic band that you can slip over your hand is helpful, as it prevents the canister from being knocked out of your hand so easily. Use is pretty self-explanatory. If an assailant comes at you, hold your arm out straight away from you and spray into the face. When contact is made and they're grabbing their eyes and screaming, you RUN!

Before going out, the first thing I find that is very essential is telling a loved one where you’re going. So if something happens to you, someone can give details on your whereabouts. It is also important to be prepared, like knowing where the nearest police station is at or where the busy street full of people is at, so that if someone posed as a threat to you, you would know where to go. Arming yourself with pepper spray is also not a bad thing.

Crimes happen whether you are alone or with someone, whether it’s night time or in broad daylight. So always be aware of your surroundings especially if you find yourself in isolated locations.
