Prevention programme: Self-defence classes for women
The Executive Support Unit for Diversity and Gender Equality regularly offers free half-day self-defence training to women. Some dates are also open to other members of the University of Passau. This training course teaches you quick and simple, and above all effective physical intervention techniques that are designed to give you more control over situations where you are threatened with physical and/or psychological violence, and thus give you greater self-confidence.
