Street Smart Safety for Women
Your Guide to Defensive Living
Violence Against Women Has Become Normalized
IN the first book of its kind, WRITTEN BY WOMEN FOR WOMEN, STREET SMART SAFETY FOR WOMEN OFFERS TIPS ON DEFENSIVE LIVING THAT WILL INCREASE READERS' RELIANCE ON THE ONE THING THAT CAN PROTECT THEM MOST: THEIR SAFETY INTUITION.
Violence against women is a global health issue. The threats women face today are unparalleled and more dangerous than ever before. Because for the first time in history, the toxic cocktail of technology and social media has weaponized misogyny and virtualized violence against women.
There’s an even more serious challenge that faces women today. Social conditioning—the way our systems of family life, education, employment, entertainment and pop culture, spirituality and religion influence us— leaves many of us ill-equipped to deal not only with this escalating surge of attacks, but also the unrelenting prevalence of sexual assault, domestic violence, and scams.
not just a guide but a movement, aimed at raising awareness about personal safety and equipping women with the necessary tools and knowledge to navigate the world confidently
