Female Runners Take Extra Safety Precautions Amid Safety Concerns #

Female runners are implementing various safety measures to protect themselves while running alone. Concerns about safety have intensified following recent incidents, such as the killing of a student in Georgia and other attacks on female runners. A survey conducted in several countries, including the US, revealed that 92% of women feel concerned for their safety when running. As a result, many women have started taking precautions such as running with a friend, varying their running routes and times, carrying safety devices like pepper spray or personal alarms, and avoiding wearing headphones. Despite the burden placed on women to ensure their safety, the female runners remain determined to continue pursuing their passion for running.
