What is a HÅLO+ Personal Safety Alarm?

A Personal Safety Alarm is a personal alarm device that is designed to be a compact, light weight personal protection device which can be used in countries or places where firearms or pepper spray is illegal. Here in New Zealand carrying Pepper Spray of other self defence weapons is illegal and so when it comes to protecting yourself and the ones you love, your options are quite limited. This is where a Personal Safety alarm comes into its own.

How are you supposed to use a Personal Safety Alarm and how do they work?

When it comes to personal safety, having a good quality and reliable personal alarm can provide you with a lot of peace of mind. Personal safety alarms are designed to emit a very loud noise when activated, deterring potential attackers and attracting attention to your situation. These alarms are very simple to use, and are typically activated by pulling a pin or pulling the top ring out of the device itself.

One of the key features of personal safety alarms is their loud noise. In the case of the devices we have selected, they all have a minimum 130db alarm, and our premium device has a whopping 135db alarm. Not only is an alarm of this volume damaging to the ears of would be attackers, but it can also be heard over a very long distance. This can be crucial in emergency where you need help quickly.

WHO TO TURN TO FOR HELP?

When it comes to personal safety , in particular with violence towards women in society, the statistics are horribly concerning.

In a recent blog post, the Ministry for Women in New Zealand (women.govt.nz) talk about a 2018 Report carried out by the World Health Organization, which notes that; The World Health Organisation conducted a 2018 analysis of prevalence data from 2000-2018 across 161 countries and areas and found that worldwide nearly one in three, or 30%, of women have been subjected to physical and/or sexual violence by an intimate partner or non-partner sexual violence, or both.'

These numbers are very concerning, and more recent reports show that these numbers are steadily increasing. With regards to New Zealand statistics, the Human Rights Commission published a report into Workplace Bullying and Harassment in Aotearoa New Zealand (2022) which noted that 38% women have experienced sexual harassment in the past five years, as well as 23% of Men.

The Human Rights Commission have published a new report, Experiences of Workplace Bullying and Harassment in Aotearoa New Zealand (2022), which found that 38% of women have experienced sexual harassment in the past five years compared to 23% of men. It also goes on to note that young women, bisexual workers, and disabled workers are especially likely to experience sexual harassment. One just has to read the news on a daily basis to see that these statistics stack up and are a sadly accurate state of society as it stands today.
