Hi everybody, This is going to be a short post. I wanted to do a series of posts on self-defense for a while now, because there’s a lot of videos, tips, etc. out there in cyberspace that deal with say, physical assault. Some are good, some aren’t.

However, that’s not the focus of this post, although I’ll be posting about these at a later date, (and in fact, I already have).

In the first posts of this series, I want to talk about ways to deal with ways to deal with DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

What do I mean by domestic violence?

FROM WIKIPEDIA: Domestic violence is violence or other abuse that occurs in a domestic setting, such as in a marriage or cohabitation. Domestic violence is often used as a synonym for intimate partner violence, which is committed by one of the people in an intimate relationship against the other person, and can take place in relationships or between former spouses or partners.In its broadest sense, domestic violence also involves violence against children, parents, or the elderly. It can assume multiple forms, including physical, verbal, emotional, economic, religious, reproductive, or sexual abuse.

To Illustrate, I posted this video, so you can get the idea.

Now in the end of the above video, the main actress talks about a signal she used to alert her rescuers that she was in trouble. Now, I would like to show you this video, which shows some real life examples of this signal being used to save lives.

Although, I am concerned that this signal may be a bit less effective now, since a potential abuser might see this video or others like it, and recognize the signal.

However, I believe it’s worth posting, since there is a chance that someone may see this, and it may help them.

Well that’s it for this post. Whomever you are, wherever you are, if you’re going through domestic violence, you are not alone, and
