Project Info
The goal of this project is to provide young women with information and education on the use of Physical Assertiveness to help them stay safe.
We will provide 100 high schools around the country with 100 twenty page Physical Assertiveness booklets to hand out to senior girls.
What is Physical Assertiveness?
Physical assertiveness is the basis of self-defense. It is designed to prevent the on-set of violence through de-escalating, deterring and stopping aggression. It involves using assertive body language and verbal boundary setting, and physically creating space from violations of personal space and unwanted touch.
Physical assertiveness conveys the message of “I will not be a victim!”
It is effective against predators and aggressors that are seeking passive or submissive ‘victims”.
Physical assertiveness is employed to stop violence before it begins.
Help us provide this valuable information to at-risk girls.
