We empower displaced women and girls through self-defense education, allowing them to live independently and free from violence.

    Empowerment Self Defense Seminars

    Holistic self-defense from body to mind.

    We teach seminars based on the principles of empowerment and self-defense. There we look at a variety of subjects from ways of speech to coping mechanisms, intuition practices as well as physical self-defense techniques. This course gives the participants an insight on self-defense techniques and allows them to directly transform previous knowledge into action.​

    Camp Classes

    Practice what we preach.

    We teach weekly physical self-defense classes just outside of the refugee camps surrounding Athens. These classes primarily focus on internalizing and improving the learned techniques of defense in order to be able to properly execute them in case of emergency. Here we set a big focus on deescalation as a first resource. We include people from all sport and age backgrounds.

    Courses for Humanitarian Aid Workers.

    Creating safe environments.

    In order to create safe environments both for people on the move and aid workers, we facilitate de-escalation, self-care and self-defense workshops for those working in the front lines. From volunteers, legal aid workers to social workers, we are driven to support those at the front in creating a safer environment for them and their clients.

It all began with an idea of reaching those most in need and living female solidarity.
