Campus Community Police is offering a free self-defence course to female students, faculty and staff at the University of Windsor on Saturday and Sunday, March 21 and 22.

The Rape Aggression Defence System is a program of realistic self-defence tactics and techniques for women. The comprehensive course is designed to help women overcome the effects of sexual harassment and violence by teaching a strong foundation of awareness, risk reduction and avoidance strategies. From there, participants gain hands-on training in basic self-defence.

The 12-hour course runs noon to 6 p.m. both days. Register using the online form on the Campus Police website.
