		<description>And I have been walking home alone at nights. Why don&#039;t brothers ever walked me home? I&#039;m weak :(

But in all seriousness, it&#039;s awesome that u bought up a very important point here. I&#039;d like to add that it&#039;s better if sisters dont have too much fun till late on campus. The other night when the incident happened on the infamous trail, a few sisters were on campus ice blocking or something like that.</description>

		<description>Great article! I am sure the brothers were just joking and are more than happy to get rewards of escorting our sisters home. At the same time I would like to remind the community about the modesty factor and not sure a brother and sister should be walking home alone together at night. You might think it&#039;s innocent or your intentions are pure but shaytaan is strong :)</description>

		<description>Very informative! 
One thing I&#039;d like to remind everyone is how much women are respected in our community, alhamdulillah. You guys are lucky for that :) . Where I come from (Dubai), women appreciated any act of chivalry, but here its taken as sexism. When you ask a guy to walk you home, he will never agree because he thinks you&#039;re weak, but because he&#039;d rather make sure you get home safely.</description>

		<description>Thanks Nadia, this article is really useful! 

I just wanted to share one more tip about being aware: make eye contact with people walking from the opposite direction. A lot of times, people want to take advantage of those who seem submissive, so making eye contact shows you are alert! And although women are usually targeted, brothers need to be careful as well. There have been a lot of incidents at UCLA involving males getting robbed when walking alone, so don&#039;t walk alone!</description>

		<description>Thanks for this reminder.

Regarding Anon&#039;s comment- The part about walking sisters home was a joke. But i understand if you feel awkward asking a brother so that is why Nadia has provided other options, choose what makes you most comfortable. 

Just never feel comfortable walking home late at night!!!!</description>

		<description>Great read:) jazakAllahu Khairan Nadia. 

I love how you pointed out that some girl say that they can take care of themselves. While this maybe delusional or true, still though, it&#039;s better than to be safe than sorry. 

As a sister I somewho still don&#039;t feel comfortable asking the brothers to walk back with me. Esp after that video...</description>
