Self-Defence and Women

How many of you think that self-defense (karate etc) should become a mandatory part of education, right from elementary schools , because I think this is the only way to somewhat deal with rising no.of crime cases against women. Agreed that kids of smaller age cannot fight back but they should be taught techniques to deal with such heinous crimes? When police or anybody else cannot safe guard us or provide protection, we should take it up by ourselves. What say?

"Save yourself" is the only survival sutra. How is up to the individual concerned. For example Pepper spray.

By practicing martial arts and other self-defense techniques kids will develop full confidence to face any adverse situation. It should be a part of physical education and should be implemented from the elementary stage of education. Age is not a limiting factor.

Yes pepper spray should now be given to even kids and they should be told when to use since they are kids and can use it casually.

There are other ways too, to deal with such nuisance..whatever works to keep ourselves safe should be used.

With a bit of presence of mind, a woman can use chilli powder or pepper spray more effectively than karate or Judo.

Giving respect to women is the only solution to this problem. I also agree that martial arts will help women getting abused but at the same time you must also know one thing that if every women is trying to learn martial arts those persons who are abusing women will also learn the tricks in martial arts. The society should give respect to all persons irrespective of whether they are rich or not . The person who get respect from the society will never ever do these kind of activities.

The thought that that woman should be respected is a thought of bygone era.see the ever rising cases of rapes in the country. That's the current scenario and reality.

Giving respect to women is an innate quality that few men are born with..you cannot force anybody to respect women.

Secondly, at times some people appear to be nice and pay respect to women as a show off when all lewd thoughts come to their mind and when they get a chance they commit crimes like molesting girls of all age groups and then rape..we really can't control what is going on in anybody's mind. Instead of controlling anybody's mind we can do what is within our reach and control. So learning martial arts will come handy.

Most of these crimes perpetrated towards women today are from known and trusted men. So, forget that age old moral stuff which is far from reality. Reality is to gear up for self preservation that suits you.

So it implies that these known and intimate people are to be watched first. The likelihood of a total stranger committing a crime is less. Beware of these wolves on the prowl.

Exactly, in most cases it is a trend, because like I said we cannot control anybody's mind..but we can certainly carry things like chilli powder and even now a knife to counter-attack molesters, eve-teasers, the Indian law now permits the use of a knife for self-defence.

When women are given previleges for self defense , it's wise to use them instead of waiting for somebody for help. Help yourself.

Because responsible citizens cannot take law in their hands..secondly, this law can be misused at times I guess that is why a go ahead from the law makers was necessary.

But in the above lines you said Indian law permits use of knife for self defense.

Martial arts should be made part of the curriculum in elementary schools. Apart from that special orientation programs should be organised by school authorities where both parents, kids and teachers should participate.

Such awareness programs should teach children about how to avoid strangers, recognizing and avoiding dangerous situations, and also encourage parents to talk and be more communicative to their children so that children could feel free to talk about their worries.

Parents along with the school also has a huge role in this. Children often feel shy or frightened to talk about these situations with their own parents. In such cases parents should always try their best to be as much friendly as possible so that children feel free to talk with them no matter what the situation is. Sometimes in case of molestation, the parents are not even aware what their child has gone through. A healthy trustworthy relationship should be there where the child should be comfortable to talk about this.

Schools should also work-out a positive relationship between students and their guardians. It is very important.
