For the past month, many testimonies – under the hastag #balancetonbar – have been published on social networks, people claiming to have been assaulted after being drugged without their knowledge in bars and nightclubs.
And the more the subject is covered in the media, the more the concern grows. Feminist collectives have called for boycotting bars and clubs. And some establishments have implemented measures, such as glasses with silicone lids, a straw equipped with sensors that detect the presence of GHB in the glass … People who go out in public places at night also begin to adopt certain reflexes to protect yourself against this type of aggression.
Tell us how you protect yourself against this kind of risk. Do you avoid certain places? Do you refuse the drinks offered by strangers? Do you keep an eye on your drink all the time? Are you more alert to questionable behavior? Do you always stay with your friends until the end of the night?
