A Canadian study of 451 first‐year college women on three college campuses saw a 46% reduction in rape and a 63% drop in attempted rape. The technique behind those results is Empowerment Self Defense. First created in the 1970s by a group of women, the technique is composed of five steps: think, yell, run, fight, and tell.
