In July, Fearless Women partnered with Sydney’s Birchtree Foundation to deliver an Empowered Self Defence class to mentoring participants.
This feminist, trauma-informed program introduces the fundamentals of Empowered Self Defence to reduce the risk of sexual victimisation while building confidence, agency and resilience.
After talking about the actions women already use to feel safe, and the importance of projecting body confidence, verbal de-escalation, body language and trusting your ‘gut’, participants practiced self defence techniques to generate physical power through structure and leverage.
If you’d like to learn more about the Fearless Women programs and support we provide or how you can get involved, we’d love to hear from you.
