Women's Safety
Overview
Women's Safety includes protection from date rape, stalkers, and domestic violence. Two men kidnapped, raped and nearly killed Alison in South Africa in 1994. She was living an ordinary life when something extraordinary happened. She said, “You never expect it to be you or someone you know. It’s stupid to be unaware of crime.” 
A rape survivor herself, Jane manages a rape crisis center answering hot line calls from new victims of age-old crimes. A typical week includes a young babysitter raped when a man fooled her into letting him in the door. Then a college girl who’d been drugged and gang-raped. Next, a girl whose dream-date became a nightmare date rape. Finally, a woman with three toddlers and trapped in a violent marriage. I met Jane in 1990 when I began switching from coaching boxing for martial artists to teaching rape and kidnap prevention for women and children as she'd send crime survivors to me for women's personal safety self-defense lessons. All crime survivors should call these experts for help with lingering, subconscious problems - even if the crime happened long ago.
Immersed in domestic violence as a child, and having taught self-defense to countless crime survivors, I noticed that rapists, stalkers, and batterers are basically one and the same: delusional bullies imposing their "self-entitlement" on victims, and each often commits all three offenses at one time or another. (They all rate high on the Psychopath Check List explained in Criminal Minds - Predatory Mind.) I also coined simple terms for the two types of stalkers - "romantic fantasy"and "ex-partner" to replace confusing, clunky terms.
