Women’s Personal Safety
At PPS we acknowledge that due to no fault of their own, women are at increased risk of being victims of violent attacks.
We strongly believe that every woman has the right to move through the world with confidence.
Our Women's Personal Safety Program is dedicated to empower and educate women with the knowledge and skills necessary to make that vision a reality.
We strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment where women can enhance their personal safety through a combination of self-defence techniques, situational awareness training, and comprehensive risk mitigation strategies.
Our program goes beyond physical skills, emphasising the importance of mental and emotional resilience, fostering a sense of empowerment that extends to all facets of life. These sessions are suitable for women of all ages and abiliities.
For women whose lives have been affected by violence, we recommend our Empowerment and Safety Workshop for women impacted by violence.
