Some ideas, just remember when traveling overseas for women, your best defense is proximity alarms, lots of loud noise and some type of wedge since firearms and knives aren't options overseas, but big kitchen knives and things you can use as a club while loud noise is being blasted helps. Bottom line is never ever be taking alive. In the states firearms are recommended with prox alarms.

I guarantee one shot from this thing and they will think twice about coming in.
