The activities, which include self-defense classes and a circulation of a petition, are designed to raise awareness and support for the struggle against domestic violence.
All events are open to the public.
Throughout the month, Rape Aggression Defense training, or R.A.D., will be offered to students, faculty, staff and community members. The purpose of R.A.D. is to empower women through self-defense. The first session will focus on education and awareness, and the following three sessions will emphasize the physical component of self-defense. Comfortable dress is recommended. Anyone is invited to speak, sing, read a poem or present a work of interpretive dance or work of art to express how any form of violence against women harms everyone.
