A Dangerous World for Women

Women may have done so many remarkable things through the years, but many of them still have not been able to overcome the fear and the bad memories of the emotional, mental, physical and sexual abused that perverts, so-called macho men, and men of authority and power dish out to them. Fortunately nowadays, martial arts training, self defense courses and many mma training videos are available for women in need to learn how to defend their selves from such abuse.

It has been discovered that in the total number of cases of violence against women by a lone offender, 29 percent of the cases pointed to the woman’s intimate person to be the perpetrator. This means that the abuser is a husband, an ex-husband, a boyfriend or an ex-boyfriend. The rest of the cases consist annual reports amounting to an estimate of about 500,000 reported sexual assaults and rape cases, and nearly 500,000 cases of robberies.

If the aforementioned figures are not enough to send women and parents with daughters a clear message that danger and harassment are just outside the door, they might be convinced by the equally dreadful fact showing that adding to the robberies, rapes and sexual abuses are the staggering 3.8 million assaults on women and girls aged twelve years old and above. In such a dangerous world, women clearly need to know ways to defend their selves.
