Join Sandhya Singh in empowering women to protect themselves & each other!
– According to an NCRB 2023 report, crime against women in India has gone up by an alarming 4%.
– Delhi recorded 14,158 incidents of crime against women in 2023, making the capital city the most unsafe place for women for the third consecutive year.
If such statistics and news headlines do not send shivers down your spine, we don’t know what will.
The need for women’s safety in Delhi is no longer just any other issue; it is the biggest evil eating the spirit of ‘dill walo ki dilli’. And we are adamant about doing everything possible to help women feel safe and live a dignified life.
Our NGO founder, Sandhya Singh, often says that it’s time to arm ourselves—not just with physical techniques but with knowledge, confidence, and solidarity. And this is what guides all our women’s safety and empowerment initiatives in Delhi, including free self-defence workshops in Dwarka for women.
We believe that self-defence workshops offer more than just physical techniques. They are a platform for women to reclaim their autonomy, shatter the shackles of fear, and stand tall in the face of adversity. Additionally, self-defence tactics offer women a safety net and an effective tool to safeguard themselves against not just physical assault and abuse but also mental, social, and psychological abuse.
Here’s why these workshops are indispensable in present times:
– Confidence Building
Self-defence workshops instill a sense of confidence in women, allowing them to navigate the world with a newfound assurance. When equipped with the knowledge to defend themselves, women feel empowered to assert their boundaries and protect their well-being.
– Breaking Stereotypes
Active participation in self-defence workshops challenges societal stereotypes that portray women as weak or helpless. By mastering self-defence tactics, women demonstrate strength, resilience, and the capacity to protect themselves, shattering antiquated notions of gender roles.
– Heightened Awareness
Through these workshops, women learn to be more aware of their surroundings and potential threats. This heightened awareness acts as a preventive measure, enabling women to recognise and avoid potentially dangerous situations.
– Response to Emergencies
In moments of crisis, the ability to respond swiftly and effectively can make all the difference. Self-defence workshops equip women with the skills to act decisively and wisely in emergencies, potentially saving lives and preventing harm.
– Empowerment Beyond Physicality
Beyond physical techniques, self-defence workshops also empower women mentally and emotionally. They learn to trust their instincts, assert their boundaries, and refuse to be victimised. This empowerment transcends the physical realm, permeating all aspects of their lives.
– Support Network
By organising and participating in self-defence workshops in Dwarka, women forge bonds of solidarity and form a support network. These workshops foster a sense of collective responsibility towards women’s safety, encouraging others in the community to look out for one another and create a safer environment for all.
