Self Defence prepares you fight rather than freeze

Defence especially for girls is of utmost Importance in the kind of the world we live in today. In our country where the cases of gender violence are on rise, self defence for girls has become necessity more than ever. Keeping in mind the safety of school going girls, Our school conducted a self defence session for girls studying in classes VI-XII.

 Mr. Rajan and Mr. Jaswant, team from “Parindey” were the resource persons who taught the girls various techniques to defend themselves and to escape situations which threaten their safety. They assured that these strategies will cultivate in girls the ability to remain alert yet calm at all times and not to feel helpless in any situation.

The Principal of the school, Mrs. Suman Rana appreciated this training programme and said that there is hope that this move will help inculcate self confidence in school going girls and make them aware of the techniques to be adopted under different adverse circumstances and learn several ways to physically fight for the attacker.

The Managing director of the school, Mr. Manbir singh presented the resource persons a token of gratitude and emphasized the need of self defence for girls and said that it is a useful means to empower them. He concluded the session by saying, ‘self defence is not just a set of techniques, it’s a state of mind and it begins with the belief that you are worth defending.’
