On Friday, Islamabad Police announced a ‘Self Defense Course For Women”. The course has been set up in the light of recent sexual harassment, violence, and assault cases increasing in the country.

In Islamabad alone, the case of Usman Mirza and Noor Mukadam has sent shock waves across the country. Following that, the 14th August Minar-e-Pakistan assault case was also comprehended as horrific. It is evident that women in the country aren’t safe in public or even private spaces, and hence, measures need to be taken by the ruling authorities to diminish such heinous crimes.

The news of the course was announced on Twitter. The Islamabad Police in a tweet said,  “Islamabad Police Is All Set To Start “𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧” Empower yourself by learning combat skills, weapon handling, defensive driving, and much more because we believe in stronger YOU!”

The classes will be three days a week from 4 PM to 7 PM. The course costs Rs. 30,000.
