Conclusion
The focus of the study was to audit the perception of self-defense
trained and untrained girls towards their self-protection and comprise
the strategies that both groups has used for their self-protection.
There are numerous articles published on the matter of women
self-defense training and the problems that they confront along the way
at the global level. This proves that actively participating in
self-defense classes for women is a challenge across the globe. however
the causes may vary like some women learn self-defense training before
their assault experience and some were learned after their
victimization.
The study found that it is the socio-cultural norms and the
stereotypical gender roles assigned to women, which create barrier their
tectonic and active participation in self-defense classes. Women who had
the self-defense training are less likely to become a victim of assault
than average women. Self-defense trained women use appropriate
strategies for their self-protection when required in order to reduce
the chances of being victimized.
Analysis denotes that there is insignificant relationship exists between
self-defense trained and untrained girls about attitude for
self-protection. Both groups coincide that to avoid is the best attitude
of self-protection. Self-defense training teaches women different skills
and improve their physical and verbal skills and self-defense trained
women feel safer than average women those do not have self-defense
training in public places. Untrained women contemplate that self-defense
training implies victim blaming if self-defense trained women failed to
protect themselves from violence and then in consequence everyone will
blame her for assault. While self-defense trained women do not concur
with them.
Self-defense training gives freedom to move freely in public domain.
Therefore, it is necessary that women learn self-defense training
because findings manifest that girls with self-defense training are
better able to tackle with assault situations and more likely to reduce
the risk of violence and confident to talk with stranger than women
which do not have training.
