This three hour event, sponsored by TELL (an English lifeline and mental health advocacy organization) and hosted at Seisen International School, will consist of a 2-part program. There will be a 90-minute panel discussion with local experts highlighting various aspects of the problem of sexual violence, such as the potential mental health impacts of being subjected to these crimes and the challenges of pursuing a case through the criminal justice system. This discussion will be followed by a Q&A session with the panelists.
The panel will be followed with a 90-minute interactive self-defense exercise where female black belt Aikido practitioners will demonstrate and teach specially developed techniques based on Aikido principles. If you plan to participate in the Aikido exercise, please be aware that you will need to practice barefoot.
