change possible in cities?

Hello all,

I submitted one idea to IDEO.org,of how to better protect women in cities. They will processing the 400 suggestions that they have received and select a few suggestions to finance. This is scheduled to happen by the end of the summer, 2014.

I believe that everyone has some small suggestion that if implemented, might save a woman's life. Would it help if we wrote our simple suggestion to World Pulse, on this Voices Rising section and discussed them?

Today's suggestion: don't walk alone in the city, especially at night. In your neighborhood, at work or school, get a few friends who will slightly rearrange their schedules and travel in small groups. It's OK to carry maze sprayers in your purses, to reinforced your desire to not be touched or bothered, something to back up your \"no\" with.

What ideas do you have?
