🗣️ The most important self-defense tool any woman has is her VOICE. When you set clear, concise, and confident verbal boundaries, it provides three life-saving benefits:
1) It can reveal a perpetrators intentions
2) It shows him that you are NOT the easy target he hoped for, and
3) It draws attention from bystanders who may provide assistance.

Many women hesitate to set verbal boundaries because they are afraid to hurt someone’s feelings. Unfortunately, many have been taught (as children) to prioritize other people’s feelings over our own sense of comfort/safety. But when it comes to personal safety, politeness MUST take a back seat.

The more you invested in physical safety skills, the more comfortable you became setting boundaries with others (because you know you can back them up).
