Empowered Communities
Initiative
To help us reach our vision we are working on a Nation-wide initiative
called “Empowered Communities”. The goal for this project is to reach as
many communities throughout Australia as possible with Empowerment
Self Defence instructor training to enable them to service their own
communities and help reduce gender-based violence.
Help us create a safer tomorrow by becoming
Empowered Today.
Empowered Communities Initiative
We want all women and girls in Australia to have access to ESD+ training. The problem is, we can’t possibly reach every woman in Australia on our own. We need your help!
We’ve launched our national initiative, “Empowered Communities” to help reach this goal.
We will be travelling around Australia, offering our Facilitator Training to as many
communities as possible. Contact us if you’d like to empower your community.
