You can t use the excuse that you are a woman for letting a man make a victim out of you. I once was one of those women who thought she couldn t be beaten by anyone. I was athletic and one of the strongest women around. I did sports my whole life, even at the collegiate level. When I went off to college I found out even people like me could be attacked.
Any woman can be a victim, even the strong.
Every woman, every girl should go through this program. I ve learned to get out of situations and to fight, and if necessary, to harm an attacker with complete conviction and determination. I thought I knew how to take care of myself, especially when traveling on my own. Going through this class has made me realize that I ve been lucky so far. I have learned to be proactive.
