The smart choice for women is being able to defend themselves from an attack, using Defense Tactics. Women should have skills that would save their own life! Learning how to use your arms, legs and hands. Finding pressure points on the body that can be used to disable the person who has you in a hold. Everyone in the world is entitled to defend themselves. Example: The country of Spain is a good choice, they have bulls that try and stomp the Matador wearing red. Watch what the Matador does when the bull charges. Learning never stops and keynote always remember travelling with two people reduces the chance of something bad happening.

With over 20 years experience working with sexual and gender-based violence in the U.S. I'm wondering what is the best way for me to help this effort? Thank you so much for focusing on this effort as we have seen repeatedly that it is when women are able to fully contribute to a society that true progress is made for the entire population in any culture.]]> http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entires/gender-based_violence/ Tue Sep 29, 2009
God bless Hillary and the U.S. for creating some awareness, intervention, and financial support for the Congolese people. Brutal acts against humanity must end, and awareness and intervention are the keys.
Wishing you luck with these endevors.
Keep the faith.]]> http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entires/gender-based_violence/ Wed Aug 12, 2009
