Answer (:-))

Impose a curfew for men.  No males allowed on the street without
being accompanied by a woman, or, after dark, by two women of
reliable character.  

Actually, in Israel, a few years back, there was a rash of rapes in
Tel Aviv.  A (male) member of parliment suggested a curfew for women for
their own protection, to which Golda Meir replied that the curfew
should be for men, since the women were not the ones doing the raping...
