Self-Defense In Familial Situations

Women are frequently abused in our own families, and even within friend groups. Misogyny is deeply embedded in all of us. As women, we have built-in misogyny toward ourselves.

How Can Women Speak Up About Domestic Abuse?

We must not define someone else's violence for them; rather, we must help them understand what violence looks like.

It's Hard For People To Accept That Those They Love Are Hurting Them

Nobody wants to believe that the people they care about are abusive. It could even possibly be true, and the people they care about don't mean to hurt them. Maybe they're working out their cycles, over which they have no control.

Physical Abuse In Relationships

This becomes more challenging when dealing with parents or partners. Because it is viewed as a form of discipline, violence against children can be considered normal. It can take some time for children to understand that hitting, punching, or kicking another child is unacceptable.

The TSK Benjamin Foundation

The goal is to assist parents and caregivers in creating a nurturing environment for children. And it will imply that children who experience these things will suffer the negative effects of certain types of parenting.

We are working on a series of videos to assist parents. If there are professionals who are interested in child development, the effects of trauma on children's brains, and how to help parents avoid trauma, that would be extremely beneficial.

The Difference between Self-Defense and Protection

The difference between self defense and protection is disrupting something as it's happening, and stopping something before it begins. You do not need to defend yourself if nobody's attacking you.

How Women Suffocate Themselves While Protecting Themselves From Violence

Susie believes we do this in a variety of ways. We accomplish this by purposefully being unattractive, or by gaining a lot of weight because we believe men are less likely to attack us in these states.

How Women Endure Domestic Violence

The most common reason why women stay in domestic violence situations is that the only alternative is homelessness, where the threat of rape is even greater.

The Balance Between Protecting And Suffocating Yourself

It's important to understand the differences and how they affect you. We sometimes look at what other people have done and try to fit it into our lives without fully understanding our own.

Women’s Attitudes Towards Violence Against Women

Susie has witnessed an entire generation of change, which is an impressive development. But there is still the same degree of violence against women. There is now internet violence, which was not previously present.

The Role Of Classism And Racism In Violence Against Women

Women's attitude about violence hasn't changed; violence has managed to stay the same the entire time.

The Role Women Play In The Violence Against Other Women

People would say that women are sometimes their worst enemies, and violence may occur for various reasons.

What Do Women Learn From Fighting Each Other?

Women fighting each other reinforces the notion that women are their own adversaries. Being a woman doesn't Imply that I can't protect myself from my gender.

Can They Translate What They Learn From Fighting Each Other Into Self-Defense?

It all comes down to our mindset. Personally, if you think you are strong as a woman, you will stand up for yourself regardless of whether it is a man or a woman that's violating you.

Women’s Views On Violence Against Women

Not all women experienced violence in the same manner. And every one of us must understand how we've all experienced it so that if we need to step in, speak out against it, or support another woman, we can do it in the manner that they need to be helped.

Emotional strength is the ability to respond openly and vulnerably when confronted with overwhelming emotions. It is the feeling of trusting yourself and your body and knowing that you'll have to give it your all, whatever it looks like.

The Role Of Emotional Strength In Self-Defense

It is crucial when it comes to self-defense. When you're in a scenario where you feel uncomfortable, assaulted, or in danger, you're able to think quickly, retain your cool when necessary, and make a smart decision about how to manage that circumstance.

How To Develop Emotional Power

Begin by recognizing areas in your life where you are already emotionally powerful because many of our societies, particularly for women, serve to remind us of how weak we are.

Introduction

Welcome to an all-new season of the Pretty Deadly Podcast. Hosted by Pretty Deadly founder Susie Kahlich and co-host Tavia Benjamin, a Kingston-based poet and the author of "Words Beyond the Page" and "The Social Entrepreneur."

Description

This podcast focuses on the violence that women are subjected to across the world, the different ways we protect ourselves, and teaching self-defense techniques.

Overview 

What do the lives of women in Jamaica look like?

When Americans think of Jamaica, do they think of anyone beside Bob Marley? Tavia introduces the strong women-centered culture in Jamaica.

What women go through and how they learn self-defense

Women often wait until after they become the victim of violence to learn self defense - why is that?.

The stigma associated with violence against women

Being a victim of violence has a terrible stigma, no matter how supportive we all say that it's never the victim's fault, and it's still strange to associate stigma with it.

The United States abortion bill

Roe v. Wade, the well-known U.S. court decision that grants women the choice to choose whether to carry a pregnancy to term or terminate it, is currently in the news.

Women’s privilege

Women do have certain privileges that we often overlook.

Women specification

It’s fantastic to argue that women are merely vessels for other people's decisions. I believe it is true not only in terms of abortion and the decision to abort, but also in terms of self-defense.
