Self Defense For Women – Start With A Sense Of Confidence
Self defense for women has become a huge issue-from domestic violence to date rape, from assault in a parking lot to rapes on a college campus it seems as though women are the prime targets of these crimes, anytime, anywhere.
Hundreds and thousands of rape cases have been reported around the world, and studies and reports clearly show an increasing trend in this direction. Sadly, most cases go unreported-approximately 95%. Same is the case when it comes to murders, sexual assault, robberies and other crimes. It seems that women are not safe anywhere and vulnerable to different crimes all the time.
Sad to say most women fall into the category of "it happens to the other guy". They think such things cannot happen to them or always happen to other people. WRONG! More and more women are taking proactive steps to help prepare themselves for the day when something might happen-it is the prudent thing to do. Having a sense of self confidence is step number one.
