“My daughter is graduating high school and is headed to college. We wanted her to be prepared before potential risks to defend herself from sexual assault or rape. JTR WSD program did just that! As mothers, we organized our friends and attended a self-defense workshop. It is super fun, thought-provoking, and empowering. I feel that all girls should take a class before leaving home.” – Julia Stoveil (2021)
