Hey everyone,

Just letting you all know about an event coming up, hosted by ECU Student Guild Board of Equity, Diversity and Sustainability

ECU Student Guild, in collaboration with the Ms. Brown’s Women’s Collective are hosting a self-protection workshop for female and female-identifying students and staff to learn basic self-defense and self-protection techniques.

In Australia, one in four women will experience assault or abuse at some point in their lives. This workshop focuses on empowering women and teaching them the skills that will assist them in identifying and avoiding potentially harmful situations – mediation techniques, voice work and basic self-defense maneuvers that are easy to learn and can be easily taught to other women.

The workshop will be taught by Sara Hjalmarsson – an ECU student with experience in both teaching and practicing conflict management and self-protection techniques, having been trained as a security guard and with over eight years of experience in martial arts and effectively diffusing conflict situations.

The event is free to attend, and all women are welcome.

4- 7pm, Friday September 18th

ECU Mt. Lawley Campus Sport and Fitness Centre (Building 21)

Cnr Learoyd & Woodsome Streets Mt. Lawley

PLEASE RSVP BY WEDNESDAY 16TH SEPTEMBER SO WE CAN HAVE ENOUGH BOOKLETS TO GO AROUND!
