STUDENTS AT LUCAN PUBLIC SCHOOL ENJOY PLAY AT THE SCHOOL TUESDAY MORNING Lions club members hear speaker on sexual assault crisis theme Guest speaker for the Lucan Lions meeting was Mrs. Mary Duncan from the Sexual Assault Crisis Line. After speaking to the Lions at their meeting, she was brought to the Community Center so the public could come and be informed. Mrs. Duncan spoke to a fair size crowd of teenagers and parents on sexual assault on teenagers, male and female and what can be done to defend oneself and what should be done after an attack. She said many of the attacks go unreported because a lot of these are committed by a relative or neighbour of the victim. Mrs. Duncan offered some advice for assault victims; defend oneself in every way possible, sometimes knowing the victim will resist is enough to scare off an attacker. Use your legs; get away from the situation as fast as you can. Use your tongue, shout as many profanities as you can, this is no time to act like a lady. If these do not scare off your assailant, then use your head and arms to fight him off. If you are in a moving car, keep a cool head, when the attacker is off guard, pull the keys out of the ignition and throw them out the window and get out when the car slows down. Report the attack as soon as possible; do not clean up at all. Your appearance to the police officer will be important to your story. Mrs. Duncan offered a list of hints for people who must hitch hike but she strongly recommended not to hitch hike as it is a very dangerous practice. The best advice she of­ fered was to take the six week course offered by the Sexual Assault Crisis Line to learn the art of self defense. A community can call in a qualified instructor. If a woman cannot attend the course, then she should read and inform herself on self protection. First of all try to avoid being caught in the situation, but if you are in such a predicament, then respond verbally and if necessary physically. There is now supportive help for rape victims and his or her privacy is protected. By calling the Sexual Assault Crisis Line at 432-2272. They are prepared to offer per­ sonal help to the victim. They will even go to the hospital with the victim to give moral support and sound advice if needed. If any one has seen the film “How to say no to a rapist and survive” they are to disregard the advice given. This film has been con­ demned by the London City Police and been removed from the National Film Boards list. For more information call the Sexual Assault Crisis Line at 432-2272.
