Halloween is the one time of year when you can dress up and be whomever you want. SABRE wants you to be safe while you enjoy the holiday. This list of tips will help keep you safe and allow you, especially women, to feel empowered while celebrating.

1. Make a plan before you go out

Whether it’s a friend or family member, let someone you trust know your plans, keep them posted on your whereabouts, and share your location with them.

2. Travel in a group

People in groups, especially women, are less likely to experience harassment or dangers. Stick with your group throughout the night, and make sure you leave with the group you came with.

3. Stay Lit and Visable

Illuminate your path! Choose well-lit routes and accessorize with glow sticks and reflective gear to make sure you’re seen by cars and other pedestrians. Carry glow-in-the-dark pepper spray for an extra layer of safety, so you’re always ready in case of an emergency.

4. Don’t walk anywhere alone!

As we mentioned earlier, staying in a group is always ideal, but there are times when you may find yourself alone. If this happens, know how to prioritize your safety. Find a well-lit area, call a ride-share service, and let someone know where you are. You don’t want to find yourself in a potentially dangerous situation walking by yourself late at night.

5. Last, but not least, have fun! SABRE wishes everyone a Happy and Safe Halloween.
