Sev Necati worked in partnership with Brent Council and Wykeham Children’s
Centre to deliver a series of workshops for women in personal safety and
self-defence that access the centre and live in the local community.
The free programme “Women and Young People’s Safety Solutions” took
place at Wykeham Children’s Centre and the women who were mostly mothers took part
in discussions and practical exercises in self-defence, including floor work
and knife exercises.
We had women access the programme from a range of different backgrounds,
cultures, ages and abilities. All the
women that took part thoroughly enjoyed the session with many of them expressing
how their self-esteem, confidence levels and level of fitness had increased and
improved.
Some
Comments from the females when asked what they enjoyed about the session:
“The
partner work and team activities were very enjoyable – we learnt alongside each
other and were able to develop our practical self-defence skills together.”
“Sev
is amazing a very inspirational woman.
When I first meet Sev I was unaware of what to do. She has given me the confidence to carry myself
and become stronger.”
“The
floor work was useful and built confidence.”
“I
have appreciated the help and understanding given”
“Trainer
was working with a lot of wisdom, professional, approachable and passionate!”
“I
have more confidence!”
“I
am more aware and alert.”
“The
course was very informative and enjoyable.
We were able to share our own experiences, learn new skills, our rights
and how to stay safe in particular situations.”
“It
was very well taught and enabled people to ask questions about their own
personal issues.”
“Excellent
training. Enjoyed the techniques, practising
and the theory.”
“I am
a 73 year old woman and work normally with a passive and agreeing
attitude. However I enjoyed the course
and appreciated I am accepted with my limitations (not much!). Theory and practise was very well-balanced”
Our projects work to inspire
females from all backgrounds and abilities.
We work towards building the confidence of these women and girls and
hope we continue to inspire them to make positive changes in their lives for their
benefit.
“We were delighted with the Personal Safety Course that Sev facilitated
at our centre. 100% of the women, who attended, reported an improvement in self-esteem
and also felt that they had a better understanding of their rights. Sev brought
a positive energy into the centre and provided a positive role model for the
participants of this programme. We would highly recommend Sev to inspire and
motivate women to feel better able to protect themselves and to keep themselves
safe.”
