Although we are already in the world where gender equality is a reality, women may still be more vulnerable when they move alone than men. That is why for women planning to move, a carefully prepared moving is not the only needed—safe moving, too.

Here are some precautions that single ladies should keep in mind when moving:

   If you are renting an apartment, ask your landlord or landlady not to give out your new address.
·
   Hire only a proven reputable moving professional. It can be a local agent of a national moving company or a recommendation from someone you know.
