Elevators are ideal locations for criminals or sexual predators to operate.
According to Martial Arts Master Bui Duy Vinh - President of Nghe An Martial Arts Federation, girls first need to be more vigilant about the people around you when in the elevator.
If you find yourself taking the elevator with a suspicious stranger, let the person go and wait for another one. If you accidentally enter the elevator with a stranger and there are signs of unsafe behavior, first of all, stay calm.
At the same time, absolutely do not focus on your phone, fumble with your bag... When girls are highly focused, it will let those with bad intentions know that you are not an easy target to attack.

If you are carrying a bag, wallet, phone, money or valuables, hold on to them. It is best to keep them close to you, facing the wall to avoid being snatched.
In the worst case scenario, if you are attacked or groped, immediately react to defend yourself, fight back or try to escape depending on the situation. Once you have successfully defended yourself, press and hold all the buttons on the control panel if possible, hoping to keep the elevator door open.
Stand as close to the control panel as possible, press the alarm and as many floors as possible to stop the elevator if you are attacked, and loudly call for help.
Also according to the advice of Martial Arts Master Bui Duy Vinh: "If girls have the conditions, they should go to the nearest martial arts center to practice, and at the same time equip themselves with practical skills to protect themselves when in danger."
