We are excited to be partnering with Kia Haumaru: Personal Safety Education and offering  fully funded self-defence courses for women 16 years and older,  including transgender/takatāpui.

Designed to empower women with the knowledge, attitudes, skills and strategies to effectively prevent and resist violence (including sexual and family violence), and to positively change disempowering societal attitudes which lead to violence.

These courses are for women who are:

• Culturally isolated, including migrant and refugee women

• Rural wāhine Māori and tau iwi (including migrants)

• Abuse survivors and isolated by a culture of violence

• Isolated by disability and/or mental health issues.

​

If the link doesn't permit you to register, it is because the class is full.

Please email SOMA kiaora@soma.nz to be added to the waitlist. 

Often there is unexpected space on the day.
