Sexual Assault Prevention: 1 in 6

[MeLisa Turcott Strongheart]

44% of victims are under age 18

80%    are under age 30

What can we do?  

Be prepared.  Getting training, building oneself up mentally and emotionally, gaining confidence, having a few good, go to moves.   Being trained in avoidance, in knowing what one will do or not do.  

I have worked with so many women, and girls, AFTER they have been assaulted.   I am currently of the opinion, that self-defense training, and foundations in education regarding prevention ought to be as common as learning to swim.   After all, what if the stats were 1 in 6 females will fall into water and drown?  I mean even with training, assault can happen --- just as some strong swimmers drown in some situations.   However, I wish i could give every girl, and boy for that matter a fighting chance, as it were.

If you want to learn more about self-defense, and rape prevention training please feel free to contact me at [phone]  or email me :  [e-mail],  or find more resources at our website:  www.MercerIslandMartialArts.com

by the way the stats above are from the Rape Abuse & Incest National Network.   you can find them at this link, for more great information.
