Women of Color CORE is a 20-hour weekend course is specifically designed for women and teen girls of color ages 16+. Students develop physical and verbal skills to resist threats, intimidation, violence and acts of discrimination perpetrated by both strangers and familiar people. In a supportive, trauma-informed environment, students learn assertive boundary setting techniques and physical skills to defend and fight back against various threatening situations, including confrontations, verbal assault/harassment, attacks from behind, attempted s*xual assaults, and ground fighting. This class also addresses harm reduction strategies in response to state violence.
