Combating Harassment by Learning Self-Defense Techniques.

In an era where violence is rampant against women, teaching self-defense to women is important.

I have always felt that men take advantage of females because they have this thing in mind that what bad can possibly this weakling do to me? Girls in school have always been taught to be timid. When they grow up and nasty predators attack them, they are left with no option but to submit themselves, and this makes me sad. As a woman in this male dominating society, I have been through some rough times and I didn’t know how to keep myself safe. I don’t want other girls to experience such things anymore. Safety is one main priority and nobody taught us in school how to be safe? How to protect yourself? Why safety is important?

Due to the second wave of coronavirus and closure of all educational institutes arranging virtual classes is the only option left. I want to arrange virtual self-defense classes for women for my Amal mega project. I have yet to discuss this idea with my learning group members. We will be needing some people who can teach techniques online. We will have to advertise this idea on social media to get women students and people who can volunteer to teach as well. To turn this ingenious idea into reality we will be needing money which we can earn by organizing a bake sale.

I am looking forward to presenting my idea to my other team members. I hope women make themselves stronger, braver, and wiser in the future.
