Sign Up for Wen Do Women's Self Defence
The Office of Sexual Violence Prevention, Resistance, and Support is excited to be hosting Wen Do Women’s Self Defence in May, for a course for staff and faculty! Wen Do is Canada’s longest-running feminist self defence program, and is the self defence program that is partnered with SARE Centre for the Flip the Script with EAAA™ program!

Description:
This two day course offers women of all ages and abilities the opportunity to practice easy to learn, easy to remember physical and verbal techniques.

Included in this program are responses to the most common assaults on girls and women such as wrist and arm holds, choke and body holds, weapons defense, ground and bed defense and gang and swarming situations. Effective blocks, strikes, verbal self defense are a major component of this course. We include self defence situations related to outdoors, public transit, private vehicles, home, work and school safety.

In an environment that recognizes and celebrates our diversity, we talk about violence against women and children breaking down the myths of who, where, why assault, harassment and abuse happens. We work to increase our Awareness and confidence to promote Avoidance and Action when needed.

Dates: Saturday May 21 & Sunday May 22, 9:30am - 5:00pm (both days)

Location: On campus - space TBD!

Cost: The Wen Do Basic course typically costs about $150.00 per person, but we are excited to host this training at no cost to you!

How to Register:
We have limited space in this course - there are spots for 20 women, and we’d like to ensure that those who sign up are really committed to attending. We’d hate to have women on the wait list who can’t attend if there are spots open!

At this time, we are prioritizing registering women in our UWindsor community who are staff or faculty (as we host student courses regularly during the term). Remaining spaces will open to the community at a later date. Of course, trans women are women, and are welcome to attend.
