With the increasing number of rapes in India, Self defence is the must have skill that a women should learn and teach the younger girls for their safety. A women are mentally strong but physically they haven’t been trained enough. Because of the lack of awareness and lack of interest shown towards women physical strength.
A highly trained women about the self defence can make a hell lot of difference as a society. Self defence is the only way to make the girls safe and strong enough to handle the situation and threats around them.
They need to be self-assured of the defence techniques so that they fight hard against the oppressors. We all need to cultivate the idea in every small girl that a safety of them depends on them but not on others. That they only can make them feel safe and not the men of the society. They need to get straight that We will, and we have to make a move if anything wrong comes to them.
Self defence is like a shield against the enemies. So we need to keep building that shield stronger and stronger day by day. Once the shield is ready we are good to go. The saying prevention is better than cure suits well.
The University of Oregon found in a study that women who learned self-defence felt that they: had better safety strategies in place. were more equipped to deal with strangers, and people they know, in the context of potential assault or abuse.
The importance of self defence is innumerable and it is the assets that women can carry proudly to show the world that they are no less in power to defend themselves.
Schools, colleges and every other instuitions should start implementing the rule to learn the self-defence techniques. Women’s should learn self defence at any age, and they shouldn’t fear from anybody to apply that at any given point.
Women’s are powerful but with power of self defence they become unbreakable.Importance of women self defense.
Self defense is the act of protecting one’s mental or physical well being from any sort of harm or ill-happenings. Self defense in today’s times is a necessity, and each and every individual must have the knack of it, for their own good. The number of crimes in today’s date, especially crimes against women, is increasing as every minute passes. I am here, to support the first proposition which says, that women must master self defense in order to continue the fight against crimes.
It is very normal to hear that one’s neighbor’s son be attending judo classes, or so and so boy be excelling in martial arts or karate or taekwondo. What isn’t normal to hear, is some little girl mastering any sort of self defense sport. And, this, my friends, needs to be normalized. Each girl, in the young age of innocence must be taught not only ‘good touch and bad touch,’ but also ‘self defense.’ When we hear that some girl was kidnapped in so and so bus in some or the other corner of a city, we all feel sorry about it. What we need to do in order to avoid more happenings of this sort, is to prepare ourselves for the worst of conditions possible.
At times, people say, “Why should we learn to protect ourselves? Why can’t criminals keep their hands to themselves?” Well, the very answer to this lies in front of us, and repeats itself every day. All kinds of feminists, activists, modernists, educationists, and responsible citizens have been trying their best to spread awareness about women empowerment to prevent any sort of crimes against women, but unfortunately, even the hardest of attempts haven’t been able to eradicate this issue from it’s roots which lie in the minds of a few people.
This is exactly ‘why’ one needs to be prepared for anything that shall come one’s way. This is ‘why’ self defense is very important for women. It will give the women of our society a different level of courage to stand out in the world and do whatever they must have dreamt of. It will help us destroy the intentions of committing crimes against women in the heads of those who are ready to do so. This is one largely impactful step towards making this world a safer and more peaceful place for the coming generations.
A woman myself,
Shubhangini ShaktawatIt isn’t wrong to say that India isn’t a safe country for women. You hear of rape cases being reported in the news almost daily. In fact, this occurs so often that many have been desensitized to rape. Women often have a fear of going out because of this. They often have to take many precautions while going anywhere.
Self Defense is important. It can make a positive effect on someone’s life, making them more confident. In order to defend ourselves from the men around us, we can learn several martial arts like taekwondo, karate, or judo. It can help women to go from place to place safely and the quality of life for women can improve. Many women have had a positive impact after learning self defense.
Many colleges and schools offer a one-time class where the student can learn to defend herself with the basic tips learnt. Unfortunately, this isn’t enough. The Government should offer self defense classes to women with trained professionals and make them completely trained in self defense.
Although, we need to understand that this is not enough. How much ever we’re trained in self defense doesn’t matter because we do not see a change in men, the rates of women exploitation aren’t going down at all. Men do not need to go through the trouble of learning self defense. They are not even called out on their behaviour when they do wrong. when they do wrong. So, what’s the use? The scenario doesn’t look like it’s going to change.
Although self defense is useful, women do not need to learn self defense just because they want to live. The attitudes of men must change. It can start by correcting them when they’re wrong, calling them out on their misogynistic behaviour, teaching their fellow men to respect women and not make any woman feel unsafe in her own country, city, or house.Self-defence is one of the important weapons for all women. There many outbreaks of violence against women which occur in our day to day life if women are taught about self-defence they will be a bit secure. They can fight back in every possible way. They can protect them from eve-teasing, domestic violence etc. it creates confidence and have the feeling of security within themselves.
There are different types of self-dense such as kickboxing, taekwondo etc. there are many women who are caught into the trap of trafficking this is one of a vicious cycle which create women life horrible. For this, every woman should be taught self-defence. They will become independent and can even work in a male-dominated society. It is the mental taboo of many people who think that women are weak physically and mentally but it a myth every woman can identify the wrong touch and have the mechanism of self-defence within her but we just need to stimulate it more by giving her proper guidance about who we can use our body to fight with evil.
Many women have a myth about that if they will wear dresses which are short while attracting men, men are stronger than women is one of the myth and many more such type of thoughts create havoc in women mind and she just allows herself to be dominated by male. There many death of women as they cannot protect themselves from the cruelty of male they sudden every day but never utter a single word.
Many institutions are coming up now a day to make women aware of self-defence making them self equipped for the worst. Telling them that they should make people listen to their NO, make them aware of women power.Self-defense is a very helpful and needed skill for women to learn we can say that is a weapon to protect women’s safety. Self-defense should be taught to females at early age nevertheless women can still learn this skill. Sometimes women can fall into trouble and we all have an idea that when women are alone at night on the streets how some men take advantage of this but if women know some self-defense technique then she will not come easily in the hands of men. I think skills should be taught to females for free it will help women to become fearless and strong. At least to people in rural regions because there we hear a lot of cases of violence and molestation on females. Some community organizes free workshop and street plays to know the women the importance of self-defense. women need to always carry some pepper powder or some utensils if some unwanted circumstances occur with women. Self-defense cannot be treated as an unwanted skill because it has many advantages for women. The good thing has school, colleges and some companies have adopted the compulsory training of self-defense skills, they arrange special workshops and trained people to teach people, it will be highly impactful if every school and companies start giving this training to everyone. by practicing this woman get the idea of women power not only men are strong if women practice skills then she is also the same. Self-defense also includes judo, karate, martial arts, and taekwondo girls can learn this also. There many self-defense techniques which women can learn but there is a scarcity of teacher to teach these skills. In some places, people may want to learn this but they are not getting the nice coaches near their place. When safety will not be the main issue of society then women will happily accomplish their goals and dreams.
When are we not hearing women’s experiences of sexual violence, menaces, abuse, random assaults on strangers and loved ones? How many times did we look away and “normal” them? Don’t you believe that the time has come for women to learn how to protect themselves — now more than ever! Let’s shut down this female day by studying the art of self-defense, all those who see women as weak. Self-defense is primarily important to women so that they can protect themselves from anything unacceptable for social behavior. There is nothing more empowering than trust to analyze and take steps to overcome a perilous situation. It enables women to lead a healthy and satisfying life by enabling them to deal autonomously with stressful and dangerous situations. It promotes discipline that transfers to all other life domains.
It enables women to be calmer, more flexible, more responsive than reactive, more watchful, and enhance cognitive awareness. You ought not to be expected to travel with a partner just because you are a woman. It makes you autonomous, helps you protect yourself in every situation. This is what mastering self-defense does. Self-defense programs, too, are a pleasant method to practice and build a healthy physique, boosting physical fitness. When women are empowered to combat discrimination and sexism, crimes against women can be significantly curtailed. In the scary possibility that you face someone who may hurt you, you will have the potential to protect yourself and can buy enough time to move away to safety. This wellspring of freedom opens up for women in an imperfect society to self-defense. Building confidence in the ability of physical resistance permits women in potentially risky locations to be better able and more at peace because of their knowledge of the right ways to prevent an assailant.
A very important topic indeed where both the proposals are valid. Women need self-defense training but at the same time what is the government doing for our safety that we need to be trained to protect ourselves? I feel the Government will never be able to provide us full safety so it’s up to us now that we should be trained and protect ourselves.
Every day there are numerous crimes against women, some are reported, some aren’t. Rape, molestation, eve-teasing, acid attacks, dowry deaths, what not! We are always relying on the judiciary to give the deserving punishment to the culprits but hardly does it happen that a criminal deserves a punishment that he should. So, it’s on us to protect ourselves and stop the crimes from happening. Girls should learn to protect themselves and schools should include self-defense training in the curriculum. If self-defense training is included in the school curriculum it will help children to be shielded from abuse and violence. Crimes like child trafficking and child-abusing are rapidly increasing, rape, acid attacks and molestation with girls are increasing every day too so it will be a big step to curb these crimes. There are more perks such as a woman who has self-defense training does not need anyone to protect her. On top of that, she can help others in times of distress. Empowering women with these self-defense techniques along with education will raise the possibility of a safer world. Self-defense classes will boost the confidence of women. That will help women to protect themselves from unseen dangers. With focusing on education, institutions should also focus on self-defense. Self-defense training is the need of the hour because our safety is in our hands.We live in a world where heinous crimes against women like rape and acid attacks are very common to hear. We live in a world where every woman, regardless of her age, fears for her life everytime she steps out of her home. What is the solution to all this? Of course, the best solution is to provide so much education and awareness that people don’t even commit such horrendous crimes, but that is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight. So what is the plausible solution or a preventive measure for these things? Self defence.
Women live in a constant fear of this patriarchal world, and the only way to overcome this fear is by learning self defence. It’s the need of the hour that that all women, regardless of their age, should learn self defence. Prevention is definitely better than cure and learning of self defence is the best way to prevent the heinous crimes against women. Women need to be able and ready to fight and defeat anyone who dares to touch them inappropriately. Women’s bodies are their own and until the crimes like rape and assaults stop, they have to protect it. They need to learn self defence and incorporate it in their life if it ever comes to it.
With an increase in the number of crimes against women like molestation, sexual harassment, kidnapping, rape it becomes a necessity that they are provided with self -defece training to protect themselves and others.
Why is self-defence an important requirement in today’s time?
Learning self-defence at an early age helps a girl ensure her personal safety and defence. Women are more prone to crimes than men as they are often considered easy targets and defenceless. Teaching your girls self- defence means allowing then to learn how to tackle an impending danger without falling in trap. Learning self- defence allows women to be more aware of their environment, they are not only trained physically but also mentally. They are taught to deal with the unexpected, hence they are ready for anything. Not only this, but self- defence also a helps a woman to boost his self esteem allowing her to explore her full potential. A girl with such abilities can not only rescue herself but also help others at times of distress. Self- defence also helps in empowering of a girl child.Self defence not only raises self-assurance and confidence in women but also help them under uncanny situations. It has become of the basic necessities these days, considering the increasing rates of crimes against women. Even schools should not merely focus on educational excellence of a child but should also prepare them for the worst. Self- defence is today’s need and it a must in our school-curriculum too.
