Ammo-
FIRST: Good security precautions are definitely a must.
Pepper spray will annoy an attacker enough for the victim to get away and summon help in an urban area with good police support. Out in the boonies ? It's slightly better than throwing rocks or hitting them with a purse with a brick in it. Unless she's the second coming of Red Sonja, she'll need some more support.
Never travel alone.
Keep situational awareness.
Keep your escape routes mapped out at ALL times.
Maintain a 'go bag' in hand at all times.
Remember that your best defense is a fast set of feet... Run Away !!!!!
Those basic rules kept my butt alive in Pakistan for my year of living dangerously.
