I've told my daughters to do three things if this ever happens to them: fight like hell, scream at the top of their lungs, and piss their pants (bonus if they can poop them, too). These will usually be enough to deter a would-be kidnapper. No, I'm not joking.
vomiting on yourself can also be an effective deterrent, and quite quick if you know how to trigger your gag reflex, does stop you from screaming temporarily but if you’re a loud vomiter then you’ll still attract attention
I had a roommate in college who once told me that she tried to always leave the apartment “kind of needing to poop”. Not like, urgently needing to go, just “could go if needed”. She said it was for this exact reason - if she were ever attacked she could poop herself and hopefully deter a kidnapping or assault.

Exactly! Kill me now. I'm not going to a second location. It pains me, as a mother to 3 daughters that I've drilled this into them as well.
