 Why
Men Should Encourage Women to Take Self-Defense
We know that women are critical
messengers, spreading the word about IMPACT and the import of self-defense
training to their female friends, colleagues, and family members. However,
to end violence in our communities, it is critical that men also become
vocal advocates of self-defense training for women. Three men have offered
their personal stories and thoughts on why men should encourage women to
take self-defense. We hope that you will read these heartfelt messages
and share them with others: Encourage.
