Women and Self Defense

In our everyday lives, women face potentially dangerous situations that could result in great harm or death. 1 in 4 women will experience sexual assault in her lifetime. Domestic violence, sexual harassment, stalking, and other attacks on women are also commonplace. As a result of this, it is very important for women to learn the tools of self-defense so that we can best protect ourselves from attack. Unfortunately, as with many activities, women are not encouraged to learn how to use their body or a weapon to defend themselves. Women, however, are very capable of learning self-defense and effectively defending ourselves; we do not have to depend on others to protect our lives. Our lives are worth preserving- consider learning self-defense. The articles on your left were written by and for women in our movement.
