Around a hundred enthusiastic women attended the
practical self-defense classes billed Draw the Line Self-Defense
Clinic held in different branches of Slimmer’s World recently.
These lessons are being taught
simultaneously taught in select branches of Slimmer’s World all
Saturdays of this month and is organized by the program Women’s
Desk of QTV.
Women’s Desk is a program that
aims to combat domestic violence and the abuse of women and
children. Besides learning about the program’s campaign of
promoting the rights of women, these women participants are also
taught on how to physically defend themselves against the abusive
behavior of men, with the help of martial-art experts from different
participating organizations.
In this weekend clinic,
participants are taught how to properly react in the event of
physical abuse, even hold-ups, and how to use their personal
belongings like umbrellas, bags and brushes as weapons against a
suspect.
Interested participants are
encouraged to join and learn useful self-defense techniques today,
June 23, in the Adriatico, Caloocan, Binondo and SM North branches
of Slimmer’s World.
Together with Rhea Santos and
other women who continuously speak against abuse of women, we can
all speak up and promote the rights of women through the Draw The
Line Campaign of Women’s Desk of QTV.
