Self Defense Programs

Avatar: Official proposal Official proposal

What problem would you like to solve?

Too many women and young people are victims to crimes, if we aren't doing anything to solve the crime problem, we should make sure that our victims have a way to fight back.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

People who can defend themselves are less likely to be victims.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

We should have free self-defense training at community centers. This can include karate or kickboxing, whatever will get people motivated and can help teach them how to defend themselves against criminals. Women will feel safer walking alone at night, and young people will not be taken advantage of by people who have nothing better to do.

Who would that help?

Women and children.

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

Manhattan/dyckman/inwood
