Ancona, “Women in Defense”: women’s self-defense courses.

After the success of the summer course, the partnership with ASD Karate Ancona intensifies in favor of the fight against violence against women

The new women's anti-aggression course, consisting of 2 one-hour lessons, organized by ASD Karate Ancona, with the patronage of Fijlkam Marche Regional Committee and CONI Marche Regional Committee, will start on Wednesday 20 October at 30:12 pm in the gym of the Gianni Rodari School in Via Brecce Bianche.

A safety course designed for women of all ages, who can participate for free thanks to the patronage of the Municipality of Ancona (with the sole exception of the registration fee of 20 euros).

"After the success of the previous women's self-defense course, which was held this summer on the beach and which registered almost 50 participants, a sign that the issue is particularly felt - comments the Councilor for Equal Opportunities Orlanda Latini - the municipal administration confirms its desire to provide women of all ages with the tools to defend themselves. We know that violence against women is unfortunately a widespread phenomenon, which manifests itself in many forms, concerning both the physical and psychological spheres. The self-defense course is strictly dedicated and aimed at teaching women some basic techniques, useful for defending themselves from attempted attacks and for becoming self-aware".

The importance of the course, therefore, is not only to provide practical tools and techniques for self-defense, but also to provide benefits from an emotional and psychological point of view.

“The Donna In Difesa course is much more than a simple physical self-defense course,” explain the organizers, “because it is a path that aims to give women the tools to recognize and prevent dangerous situations, putting prevention and awareness first. Through simple but effective techniques, we learn to manage threats, first with analysis and prevention, then, if necessary, with targeted verbal and physical defense. The goal is to provide participants with the confidence and skills needed to protect themselves in any context.”

"It is in fact a training on personal self-defense strategies and techniques that can be very useful. Thanks to self-defense techniques, it will be easier to interpret the intentions of those who are about to commit violence and activate actions to avoid the aggression. I thank ASD karate Ancona who created this course, contributing in a concrete way to the fight against violence against women, in particular to Maestro Massimo Monina, for the sensitivity shown to the delicate issue of violence against women."

"We are deeply satisfied with the valuable support of the Municipality of Ancona for the Donna in Difesa Project. This support represents an important step towards protecting and strengthening the safety of women in our community. Thanks to this collaboration, we will be able to expand prevention and awareness initiatives. The union between institutions and citizens is essential to build a safer and more inclusive future for all" conclude the organizers of the course.
