Learn To Protect Yourselves Against Criminals Who Commit Crimes On Women
Sexually based crimes against women are still dramatically high. According to the United States Department of Justice somewhere in America someone is sexually assaulted every two and a half minutes! Source: Rape, Abuse and incest National Network
“It is imperative that women become educated in preventive techniques to stop violence and rape before they occur. The program presented by Mr. Smith is well researched, comprehensive and concise. Mr. Smith made himself and his knowledge of self-defense available to our students in a comfortable and non-intimidating atmosphere. We strongly encourage Mr. Smith’s program to those interested in promoting educational awareness of women against domestic violence and abuse.” Pamela B. Gould, R.N. Health Services, Becker College.
