We include self defence situations related to outdoors, public transit, private vehicles, home, work and school safety.

In an environment that recognizes and celebrates our diversity, we talk about violence against women and children breaking down the myths of who, where, why assault, harassment and abuse happens. We work to increase our Awareness and confidence to promote Avoidance and Action when needed.
