Now for the 12th year in a row, GIANT has hosted a Women’s Self Defence Workshop to help raise funds and awareness to stand against violence to women. AND WHAT A GREAT TURNOUT WE HAD THIS YEAR WITH 50 WOMEN ON THE MAT!

The Moving Forward Foundation is a specialist case management service for women and children who are experiencing, escaping or have left domestic and family violence. They are committed to helping to drive change in attitudes and behaviours that lead to violence in many women’s lives. Our support is critical and plays an important role in preventing men’s violence against women and creating a future where all women live in safety free from all forms of men’s violence.

This Women’s self defence workshop was a mix of both existing students and ladies from the community turning up to learn about healthy relationships and self protection. The women are given awareness info breaking down stages from the verbal threat to learning efficient technique to survive the physical threat.
