“My self-esteem has increased. I understand how to manage risk”
“I now know how to stop becoming a victim!
Thank you, so much. It has changed my
life”
"I
have changed. I feel as a woman I can protect myself and I don’t need a man to
protect me anymore. I recommend this course to every woman who has experienced
any form of attack as it will help you to gain confidence again."
Case Study One:
Jackie
is a 19 year old-female, Black-Caribbean, Single, and has no children.
Please tell us why they became
involved in the activities?
It was
an important thing for me to learn as I am going on holiday and it’s an
all-girls group I wanted to feel confident and not be afraid if danger
approaches us. I was attacked a few
months ago and made me feel vulnerable and I thought it would be a good
confidence boost. Basically it was with
my brother he thought I was being rude and he started hitting me and I went to
call the police but my mother asked me not too as I would then have to leave
the house. After that incident nothing
felt the same, I was afraid he would do the same thing again. I don’t talk to my brother. My mum is scared
of him. I have now moved out.
Please tell us how participating
helped you?
It has
boosted my confidence and I feel more-safer on the road. I know what to do in a situation how to
protect myself and I have a chance of surviving and not becoming a repeat
victim. And I can protect others around
me, as well.
Please tell us what has changed for
you as a result of engaging with us?
I have
changed a lot. I realised I am stronger
than I think and I am. I can overcome
things. Like completing the course I am
capable and I can do it. I was able to
do the striking and I thought I wouldn’t be able too. So this has helped me a lot.
Thank
you for everything!
Case Study Two:
Becky
is single and has no children, aged 33, White European Polish.
Please tell us why
they became involved in the activities?
I
became involved to learn how to protect myself on the streets and at work
(because I work in a public space and I had been in incidents) and feel safer
where I live. Also because I reported
things to the police before I wanted to feel safe in knowing what I could do to
protect myself if it was necessary and these pass experiences happened again, I
would feel safe and secure about protecting myself.
Please tell us how
participating has helped you?
It
has helped me become more confident in my local area and comfortable about my
own personal safety. If I go visit a
place I don’t know like a city I feel confident about protecting myself,
against strangers and others.
I
feel in any situation that may happen in the future I will be able to protect
myself as all the scenarios we went through.
Please tell us what
has changed for you as a result of engaging with us?
I
have changed I feel as a women I can protect myself and I don’t need a man to
protect me anymore. I feel strong and
also feel that all the information that was given out was useful and I know where
to ask for help if I am in trouble with anything else.
I
feel like I have a right to feel safe and confident on the street and I can
protect myself and know how to behave in a situation. I feel I have a right to my own personally
space.
I
recommend this course to every woman about personal safety or experienced any
form of attack as it will help them to gain confidence again and they have a
right to protect themselves.
I
have already recommended this course to many people.
Case Study Three:
Karen
is married with one child, aged 37, Moroccan.
Please tell us why
they became involved in the activities?
I
joined to learn to protect myself because I had been attacked before
and I didn’t want it to happen again. I
wanted my daughter to protect herself because I didn’t want my daughter to be
attacked like I had been. Also to understand
that she had the right to say No to anyone that may feel its ok to touch her
without her permission.
Please tell us how
participating has helped you both?
Me
and my daughter get to train together now, outside of your sessions and we have
become real close by doing this. I feel like I don’t need to protect herself
she can do this all by herself now. She
has also made new friends and because I have met the other girl and I like her
it gives me the confidence to allow her to go out with her. I really like that she has made a new friend
outside of the school.
Please tell us what
has changed for the you as a result of engaging with us?
I feel more confident and can do things I
didn’t have the confidence in doing before, I feel stronger and safer. I don’t feel restricted anymore because it’s
dark outside or their bullies outside.
So I feel more confident and feel more empowered I have loss my fear
now, which has enabled me to become more social.
Having
you encourage me and telling me how strong I am it gave me so much confidence
and I love training with my daughter my physically ability has improved
greatly. We laugh and lesson together
and it has brought my family together strongly which I really appreciate.
Case Study Four:
Please tell us why you became involved in the activities?
I became involved because I wanted to learn personal defence if I were to encounter dangerous situations. I am pleased to say that this opportunity taught me self-defence and most importantly built my confidence.
Please tell us how participating helped you?
Participating in the project helped me to develop into a stronger individual. My interaction with others improved my teamwork skills.
Please tell us what has changed for you as a result of engaging with us?
From my engagement I noticed changes in myself. Firstly, I have become more confident when outdoors. Secondly, I feel stronger and empowered because the physical practical taught me how to protect myself if in threatening situations. Lastly, it has enabled me to believe in my abilities and understand my capabilities in terms of strength. Overall it was an amazing experience.
