Violence against women – particularly intimate partner violence and sexual violence – is a major public health problem and a violation of women's human rights.
Estimates published by WHO indicate that globally about 1 in 3 (30%) of women worldwide have been subjected to either physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime.
Most of this violence is intimate partner violence. Worldwide, almost one-third (27%) of women aged 15-49 years who have been in a relationship report that they have been subjected to some form of physical and/or sexual violence by their intimate partner.
Violence can negatively affect women’s physical, mental, sexual, and reproductive health, and may increase the risk of acquiring HIV in some settings.
Violence against women is preventable, but we have a long way to go. It implicates a radical change in education on all levels of our society and the awareness that it’s an abuse of power and discrimination of a whole gender.
Until this happens women must be prepared for any situation they can be exposed to.
That is why we asked Babis Elisiadis from the
Diogenis Serres Fighting Club
if he could show us come basic Krav Maga techniques for self-defense. He kindly agreed to give us an introduction to the practice in compliance with the restrictions and limitations of COVID 19Because of the pandemic, Babis cannot provide us with more training. In the future, we strongly encourage you to take part in Krav Maga or other self-defense classes, because they are very empowering and useful for your everyday life.
