Wen-Do reinforces the positive aspects of the ways that girls and women deal with the threat and experience of violence in their lives. The classes do not issue a list of do's and don't's, but rather share practical and factual information within a feminist, anti-racist, anti-oppression framework.\\n\\nWhat to expect in this workshop\\n\\nYour Wen-Do instructor will facilitate discussions that involve the breaking down and debunking of victim-blaming stereotypes and myths that surround women’s self-defence. They will offer factual and resource-rich discussions about abuse, harassment, and assault within a patriarchal society. Participants will have the opportunity to learn and practice physical and verbal self-protection skills and strategies that cover a range of dangerous and\\/or uncomfortable situations.\\n\\nConsiderations for the online environment\\n\\nThese physical techniques will be presented online with the understanding that some participants may be sitting or sometimes standing at their computer so particpants will be encouraged to do only what is emotionally comfortable and pysically safe for their bodies.\\n\\nPlease Note: participants need to ensure they'll be in a private space out of respect for all participants as cameras are required to be on for safety purposes.\\n\\nIf you have any questions about the workshop please contact Janessa Good, events and engagement coordinator, Human Rights, Equity and Inclusion\"", "startDate":"2021-03-11", "endDate":"2021-03-11", "startTime":"15:00", "endTime":"17:00", "location":"", "label":"Add to Calendar", "options":[ "Apple", "Google", "iCal", "Microsoft365", "Outlook.com", "Yahoo" ], "timeZone":"US/Eastern", "trigger":"click", "inline":true, "listStyle":"modal", "iCalFileName":"invite.ics" }
