Women's Self Defense Class at UB

Women's Self Defense Class at UB | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it
Another round of women's self defense classes were given in Cayo this weekend. Belmopan City Online was at the University of Belize to cover the event. Thanks, Renee Wentz, for all your time and effort to keep the ladies safe.

"Don't MESS with these ladies!! (in fact don't mess with ANY lady). A Great self-defence class was held this Satuday free of charge at UB. The girls and women who participated learned great tips on how to conduct themselves to avoid becoming victims, what to do if you're being followed, and how to fight back during an actual attack. Everyone left feeling empowered and a little safer. To find out about more upcoming sessions, 'like' the 'S.H.E. Thing...' page:

UB is participating in The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence by having seminars this week at all campuses.  There will also be female self defense classes in Cayo and Benque on Friday.

 

"The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is an international campaign originating from the first Women's Global Leadership Institute sponsored by the Center for Women's Global Leadership in 1991. Participants chose the dates, November 25, International Day Against Violence Against Women and December 10, International Human Rights Day, in order to symbolically link violence against women and human rights and to emphasize that such violence is a violation of human rights."

The University of Belize has been holding self defense workshops.  Sacred Heart Junior College is holding some in the next few weeks also.  A big thanks to the schools and the instructors for helping to keep our kids safe.

 

"A self-defense workshop was held on Wed, 10 Oct, evening under the white tent on the Central Campus.  Over 40 women and girls participated in the 3 hour training.  Even though the rain started to pour and the lighting was striking, the women and girls stayed to learn all they could about self-protection and safety.  The daughter of the man who sells hotdogs at the campus enterance even came over with her young friend and learned how to be safer.  Thanks to all for coming out and look for more workshops on safety and self-defense in the near future."
