The best thing I've found is to ignore scared behaviour. Don't try to comfort or reassure her as she will think you are praising her for being scared. Only let her have attention from strangers when she
isn't acting scared - if she is cowering away from them they (and you) must ignore her completely - don't even look at her. It takes some time, but if she learns that people go away anyway she'll start to accept them. Good luck.
