Through 60 workshops, 250 girls/women learned how to defend themselves against verbal and physical attacks.

The participants had the opportunity to learn communication techniques, boundary setting, attitude, three types of strikes and five physical self-defense techniques. The method itself was made for women.

Empowering self-defense workshops are implemented in 10 high schools and 4 faculties in Niš within the Center for Girls’ project SAFE – Empowering girls and women to feel safer in public places in Niš, supported by UN Women.
