Self-Defense Workshops

In our society, which becomes more radicalized as it becomes more religious, women are not the only victims of violence. We are tired of reading news about young people who are beaten because they did not fast during the month of Ramadan. The harassment of young girls on public transportation for wearing shorts is also a part of this. Expecting concrete steps from the ruling power, which is the main culprit of this balance and drifting further away from secularism with each passing day, would be naïve, to say the least. In our country where the rule of law is increasingly undermined, we have decided that we need to take a concrete step in combating violence, and we have said, "If the State doesn't protect, the Association will!"

In this context, with the first one to be held in Istanbul, we aim to provide basic boxing training to our friends who have experienced violence through self-defense workshops and help those in need learn how to defend themselves.
