Welcome to the virtual stomping ground of Girls Fight Back! 

Our mission is to empower women and girls across the globe through personal safety and self-defense education. We accomplish this via live seminars, books, DVDs and other safety products that help women lead safe & fearless lives. Our award-winning seminars are attended by over 100,000 women annually in schools, colleges, corporations and women's groups across the country.  Sadly, GFB was born in 2001 in response to the murder of a popular college student named Shannon McNamara. Shannon's friend and sorority sister, Erin Weed, started Girls Fight Back in 2001 to help women realize it's not necessary to be a black belt to save your own life.  We believe anyone can become their own best protector and that fighting like a girl is actually a very good thing!
