Damsel in Defense was founded in September 2011 by Mindy Lin and Bethany Hughes, two friends with a passion for safety. The mission of Damsel in Defense is to Equip women with products that can protect them, Empower them to protect themselves and Educate them by encouraging them to back up their purchases with self-defense training. Damsel in Defense brings the self-defense products and education directly to the women in their homes, in a party setting. National statistics suggest that at a twelve person home party, two of those women will have wished that they would have had something to defend themselves at some time in their lives. I consider it a privilege to equip these women before they become a statistic. Damsel in Defense can come to real estate offices to speak to agents about the safety when showing homes to complete strangers, or hair salons where stylists are in store fronts late at night. Waitresses and bartenders are walking to their cars with cash on them feeling vulnerable every night. College aged girls are four times more likely to be attacked. We want to make a difference, and give you the tools you need to defend yourself. Contact me for more information rachel@ifightback.net
