I walked home in the evening, tightly clenching my fist in my pocket with the keychain uncomfortably squeezed between my fingers. The closest at hand, in case anything were to happen. And not that I would need to kill an animal or catch my food, but if someone were to attack me on the way home. Always on the way home. Afraid of being raped. This is a way that many other women and I have had to prepare ourselves for defence in today's society. When I asked around, few men knew about this trick with the keychain. I have chosen to design a keychain that also functions as a weapon. At the same time, I want to retain elegance and playfulness. An object I would choose. An object my body can trust.
