Get Safe

The Suffragists believed that by having the vote, women would be able

to help create a society which was safer for everyone, and in which we would all feel more secure.

 

This section aims to empower and prepare girls to feel ready to face the world and get themselves safe if and when they need to. Society often tells us that girls can’t or shouldn’t fight: we know, of course, that this isn’t true. It is essential to understand that this section is not about advocating or encouraging violence; instead, it is all about giving girls the chance to experience and remind themselves of their strength. Completing this section should help you get safe if you ever find yourself in a situation where you feel unsafe or threatened.

Some of the techniques explained in the badge were taught by Wayne from PDR Swindon. Below you'll find videos to help teach these in your own units. Please be aware the no force should be necessary for these actions. If you are not comfortable doing this for your unit why not invite a trained self-defence trainer?
