“I organized a one-day, four-hour self-defense lesson for women over the age of 14. Because the CRICS community is known for its safety and encouragement, I wanted to spread that to those outside the community while strengthening a very practical and physical aspect of safety. I also wanted to introduce women to the wonderful abilities hidden within their own bodies. The women who participated in my project not only became more aware and equipped for possible danger, but also more confident and empowered about their bodies and abilities.” –Priscilla, Grade 12
