Do not show in public or in open areas the valuable objects you are carrying (for example, laptop, smartphone/mobile phone, mp3, mp4…).
- Keep alert. If you use headphones, then choose the smaller darker ones. Don’t put up the volume so high that it prevents you from hearing what is happening around you.
- Always zip up your rucksack or bag and keep them closed.
- Wear your rucksack or bag across the body.
- If you are on the pavement, always keep your rucksack or bag away from the road side.
- Always try to walk with schoolmates or friends and choose well-lit and well-travelled streets you know. Nearby friends’ houses and shops are always safe places to go in case of emergency.
- Before leaving home, always let someone you trust know where you are going and what route you are taking.
- If you see someone you feel suspicious about, cross the road and walk on the other side of the street from him/her.
- Do not accept lifts. Don’t take offers from people you don’t know.
