Could You Effectively Defend Yourself If Attacked?
Rape Statistics
1 out of every 4 college women polled was sexually assaulted during four years at college.
(Ms. Magazine Study of Sexual Assault and Rape.)
Assault and Rape
Between 1973 and 1987, (14 years), over 2.3 million women reported sexual assaults
in the United States. 71% of these victims avoided being raped by taking self-protective
measures. (United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics.)
Develop Your Options
In 1988, rape victims took self-protective measures in 86.7% of the cases. "Rape
victims were more likely to defend themselves than assault or robbery victims."
(Criminal Victimization in the United States 1988).
Don't Be Victimized By Fear
"In fact, the most often used strategy for avoiders (of rape) appears to have been a
combination of screaming and use of physical resistance." (Bart, P. & O'Brien, P.
1985). Stopping Rape: Successful Survival Strategies. Pergamon Press, New York.)
RAD Objective
"To develop and enhance the options of self defense, so they may become viable
considerations to the woman who is attacked." Larry Nadeau, Executive Director
