Rules for Girls

I.

Don't talk to strangers,

especially male ones.

Be vigilant

be wary,

you don't know who you can trust.

​

II.

Don't wear anything

too short

too tight

too low cut.

You'll get attention you don't want.

​

III.

Don't walk alone at night.

Carry pepper spray,

a tazer,

keys in hand.

You know it's dangerous out there.

​

IV.

Don't let your guard down

or leave your drink unattended.

Watch out for your friends,

make sure they get home safe.

You are each other's defense.

​

V.

Don't resent the rules;

hate the reasons they're necessary.

Protect your daughters

and teach your sons to do better.

You shape the world they'll live in.
