Women’s safety must be a priority every minute of every day, especially when I read the dismal statistic: 1 in 3 women in the United States assaulted in her lifetime. Fear is not the emotion any woman wants when attempting to enjoy an activity; yet, it does cause some to hesitate or not accomplish what she wished to do. That’s not the world we want to live in!

Women can now carry a non-violent self-defense tool, a Birdie. The goal is to deter attackers while creating a distraction thus drawing attention to the woman in need of help. See the photo below:

With a pull of the top circle, referred to as the “pin”, an ear-piercing siren happens along with a flashing strobe light, especially helpful at night. To stop the ear-piercing sound, return the pin into the Birdie. This personal safety alarm can travel everywhere, unlike tasers and pepper spray, which are not TSA-friendly. It also can be hooked onto bags, put into pockets, or hung on your keychain. Make it as accessible as you wish.

This self-defense tool was shared at a local bird festival workshop. You may wonder why there. Woman can be hesitant to hike and go bird watching alone, especially if hearing any statistics of assaults, etc. Therefore, this self-defense tool was offered as part of a workshop at the bird festival.

There is a new “Birdie 3.0” which has a rechargeable battery. When you visit the website you’ll see 2 other available products. One is a disc and the other a box for hotel room. Check those tools out as they may be of interest to you beyond this Birdie. My Birdie is not a 3.0, so a battery will need to be replaced in time. Women’s safety is important … share this info with others … gift someone … and have your own.
