Help 5,000 Thai Girls Protect Themselves

Dear Supporters,

Sawadee ka!

Just a quick update to let you know we’ll be heading to Ubon Ratchathani in a few months’ time. That’s when the school schedule is able to accommodate our training of high school girls. We’ll run workshops in poorly resourced schools in the northeast province and our life skills training will cover:

• Awareness and Prevention of Danger: raise awareness of a range of risks (including relationships, harassment, financial dependency, pregnancy, and online grooming), as well as teach tactics for avoiding these risks and ways of dealing with incidents that may arise
• Girls’ Laws and Rights: improve understanding of existing laws relevant to girls, and the procedures for reporting domestic violence or assault to the police
• Avenues for help: provide instructions and contact details on getting help and support from public agencies and non-government organisations on violence-related mental and physical issues
• Basic Self-Defense: teach basic defensive moves, such as wrist-grabs, lapel-grabs, and self-protection while pinned on the ground

Once we wrap up the training, we’ll be in touch again on the outcome. We wish you a great summer! Thank you for your support.

All the best,
