Girls Fight Back! (for teens or college women)

Girls Fight Back teaches young women to live safe, strong and empowered lives...and to never make choices stemming from fear. Beginning with the tragic story of murdered Eastern Illinois University student Shannon McNamara, we create a powerful impact upon students in regards to the prevalence of violence against women. However, the darkness ends there. We move on to explain 3 steps to a safe and empowered life: Trust Intution. Be a Bad Victim. Learn to Fight! We explain ways to reduce the risk of violence, how to understand intuition, the best ways to live as a cybersafe, strategies to secure dorms/apartments from home invasions and how to address violence in social settings. (dating violence, acquaintance rape, predatory drugs, etc.) Then it's interactive time! Regardless of crowd size, students stand up and learn verbal de-escalation, strong body language, an effective 3-part self-defense formula, ground fighting strategies and how to use improvised weapons.

In March 2006, CNN flew our Founder/CEO, Erin Weed, to Daytona Beach for a special report on Spring Break. She had the chance to get an in-depth look at what's happening on spring break and the danger behind seemingly innocent situations. In this program, we will offer proactive strategies for: party situations, hotel security, avoiding date rape drugs, air and car travel and the top 5 ways to avoid crime targeted at tourists. Your speaker will also demonstrate her favorite self-defense techniques that could be used to escape a violent confrontation. Using our signature down-to-earth humor, we remind students to have a blast on spring break…but to do so safely. For more info, go to www.SafeSpringBreak.org
