If she's not comfortable with them, a whistle or a compressed can air horn are an alternative.
If she's ok with using them, maybe she can test them on her significant other then fine, just make sure to check out the legalities of carrying these devices.

I may be mistaken, but I believe that both pepper spray and tasers are illegal to use as self defence against a person. With bear spray, I believe you have to sign a waiver stating that it will only be used for self defence against animals and not people. If you use it against a person, you can be charged. This is all just from what I have read online, so it's entirely possible that this is incorrect. At any rate, my gf is pretty clumsy, so even if it were legal, it might not be the best thing for her. I think I am going to pick up a whistle for her tonight after work. Thanks for the suggestion!
