The 3 E's...Equip, Empower, Educate

1 in 5 women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetimes.
College age women are 4 times more likely to be assaulted.
Every 2 minutes someone in the US is sexually assaulted.
One aggravated assault occurs every 35 seconds."

 

Being prepared and knowing what to do in these situations is vital. MMHD is offering a FREE class to the community to help women be prepared. It is a little bit of a twist on a self-defense class, it is an actual company that hosts the event and offers products for sale. They provide great information and situational tips and instruction. No purchase is necessary.

Damsel in Defense was founded in September 2011 by Mindy Lin and Bethany Hughes, two friends with a passion for safety. As moms, non-lethal defense was their main objective.  Moms will do anything to protect themselves and their children, but guns were not an option in their homes. If there were other options made available just as effective in disabling an attacker and non-lethal, they wanted them!

Equip women with products that can protect them! Most women have never held a stun gun and can’t tell you where to find one to see, hold and purchase. We are changing that!

Empower women to protect themselves! We hear from customers time and again that having an item in their hand while walking to their car in a dark parking lot makes them feel safer. It is not a  false sense of security, it is knowing that they are better off carrying a deterrent than they would be empty-handed.

Educate women by encouraging them to back up their purchases with self-defense training. Our relationships with our customers and our fight to lower the national statistics of assaults against women do not end at the time of purchase.

 

You are invited to join us for this FREE event Monday, October 27th at 10:30 am, 2:30 pm or 5:30 pm. Please RSVP to vlakey@mayersmemorial.com
