Welcome!
Power For Women is a group that believes in giving women the skills and strategies for increasing their power to move through the world. In addition to practical self-defense skills against sexual harassment and assault, we believe there are many areas of daily life which women could use skills and information to better protect their interests. Through its self-defense classes, workshops, and demonstrations, Power For Women equips women and girls with the knowledge that is essential in these times. And Power for Women classes are for women only, taught by women only.
Arrange a class, workshop or demo for your workplace or friends. Call 312-957-0195 and talk to Anne Mary or Allison. Power for Women travels, and our prices are reasonable.
