ABOUT PROTECT YOSELF
The Reason
On average, there are 321,500 victims (age 12 or older) of rape and sexual assault each year in the United States. Out of those, 1 in 6 are female and 1 in 10 are male.
Purpose
Being able to teach people self defense can avoid sexual violence, allow the person to be able to defend themselves, and create a massive boost of confidence and positivity.
Facts
Users of self defense report less assults and other crimes than non users. From over 60,000 users, over 59,000 of them never reported assult. Meaning there was a 98.3% success in avoiding attacks.
Our Hopeful Outcome
We hope that not just women, but everyone learns how to defend themselves in case of attacks or other threatening situations. The overall outcome we hope we have is to make more people feel and be safe.
