Self Defense For Women in Today’s World
The days news always seems to be filled with tragic events perpetrated on those around the world. Â I myself have three daughter’s in their mid-twenties and I constantly worry about their safety. Â The video below is instructional with a serious message. Â My daughter’s have been trained to carry a Tactical Defense Pen in their hand as they are walking or traveling to and from their destination, so as to be always prepared.
On New Year’s Eve in Cologne, Germany 20-40 men swarmed a group of women and attacked them. Tearing at their clothes, groping them, and robbing them, these men’s clear intention was to antagonize a group of women.
German police were criticized for the way they handled the seemingly well-coordinated assaults and the head of police actually stepped down in response to the sense of public mistrust.
The men were described as having been of North African or Middle Eastern origin, sparking a large debate in Europe about the refugee crisis. More than 500 related attacks were reported in Cologne alone.
The political mess of these occurrences aside, I think it is important to look at what this was in its most basal form, an attack on women.
Whether it was intended to be an attack on Western women specifically is uncertain at this time, though very plausible, but I’d like to leave the geographic element of this attack aside for the moment.

RapeCulture is more than just a hashtag — it’s something women cannot avoid, no matter where they live or whom they partner with. One-in-three women will experience a physical or sexual assault in her lifetime — by strangers on the street or from their own spouses or family members.Even the rare woman who has not been sexually assaulted at some stage of her life lives in fear that it will happen one day. We armor ourselves against it unconsciously when we go on first dates, when we walk down the street at night, and when we’re trolled and threatened online.
