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.
