At Be The Change NGO, we believe that every girl deserves to live a life free from fear and violence. That's why we're committed to empowering girls with the skills and confidence they need to defend themselves and assert their rights.
The Reality of Violence Against Girls
Girls and women are disproportionately affected by violence and harassment, both in India and around the world. According to the National Crime Records Bureau, crimes against women in India increased by 7% in 2020. This is a stark reminder that our girls and women are not safe, and that we need to take action to protect them.
Self-Defense as Empowerment
Self-defense is not just a physical skill – it's also a powerful tool for social change. When girls learn self-defense, they gain confidence, assertiveness, and a sense of control over their own bodies. They learn to recognize and resist harassment and violence, and to demand respect from others.
Our Approach
At Be The Change, we offer self-defense training programs specifically designed for girls. Our programs are led by experienced instructors who teach girls practical self-defense techniques, as well as strategies for avoiding and responding to harassment and violence. We also provide a safe and supportive environment where girls can share their experiences and support one another.
Join the Movement
Empowering girls with self-defense skills is just the beginning. We need to create a society where girls and women are valued, respected, and protected. Join us in our mission to empower girls and create a safer, more just world for all.
