Every 98 seconds an American is sexually assaulted. That statistic comes directly from RAINN – The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network. It’s extremely difficult to get accurate statistics on sexual assault and rapes as so many go unreported but RAINN estimates that 1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. Below are some additional statics from RAINN:
Young women are especially at risk
82% of all juvenile victims are female. 90% of adult rape victims are female.
Females ages 16-19 are 4 times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault.
Women ages 18-24 who are college students are 3 times more likely than women in general to experience sexual violence. Females of the same age who are not enrolled in college are 4 times more likely.
Ages 12-34 are the highest risk years for rape and sexual assault.
Those age 65 and older are 92% less likely than 12-24 year olds to be a victim of rape or sexual assault, and 83% less likely than 25-49 year olds.
Gallatin Valley Martial Arts (GVMA) offers free Women’s Self-Defense classes in Bozeman, Montana. Seminars are taught by a qualified and experienced female instructor. The seminars are specially designed and include statistics, safety tips, and awareness training as well as an interactive streetwise self-defense workshop. Gallatin Valley Martial Art’s program was designed to teach women how to achieve empowerment through knowledge, awareness and confidence. Our goal is to share information to give you a better chance of never being attacked and in the event that you are that you have the best chance of surviving and escaping. The seminars we offer are not a substitute for continual training but they are a fun, educational and interactive introduction to self-protection and defense. No experience is necessary to participate in the seminars, but space is limited. During this workshop attendees learn:
Recognizing and avoiding potential threats
Situational awareness
Safety tips
Vital parts of the body that are vulnerable and easy to attack
Basic strikes and kicks
Defenses for the most common attacks on women
Plus a whole lot more!
