Empowerment Through Self-Defense
Muslim women are increasingly targeted for hate speech and violence. Join IKRAM (The Foundation for Empowerment of Muslim Women) for an evening of empowerment open to all women.
Teachers from Defend Yourself and WISE–Women’s Initiative for Self-Empowerment–will cover how to prevent and avoid harassment, attack, and abuse; how to stop a threatening situation with words; and physical strikes to use against common attacks (including hijab grabs).
Open to all abilities–you don’t have to be an athlete or a martial artist to keep yourself safer!
Who: Open to all women age 18 and up
When: Friday, Sept. 29, from 6 to 9 pm.
Where: Vienna, Va.
How: $15. Sign up here!
