VRC slates women's self-defense class The Victim's Resource Center is sponsoring an eight-week women's personal-self-defense course, en- titled Protect Yourself—You're Worth It. Scheduled to begin Mon- day, Aug. 24, the course is open to women of all ages and children 13 and up. Each session will last for two hours from 7 to 9 p.m. each Monday at the YM/YWCA located at the corner of South Franklin and Northampton Streets. A fee will be charged and class size is limited. Those wishing to partici- pate should register by calling the VRC at 823-0765. Conducting the course will be Karen Lazur, Education Coordi- nator of VRC and a practicing martial artist for over 10 years. She is certified by the PA Commis- sion on Crime and Delinquency to instruct campus security person- nel and police officers state-wide on issues of crime prevention. Ac- cording to Lazur, “The goal of the course is to create an awareness of each individual's ability to defend themselves if confronted by a dan- gerous situation. Prevention through awareness is a priority in reducing the risk of victimization.” Strategies to be used in the course include the use of assertive skills and basic self-defense techniques. The chance that crime will touch each American family is now one in four. FBI statistics indicate that one American is forcibly raped ev- ery six minutes. In a 1991 study conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice, those rape victims us- ing self-protection were less likely to be victims of a completed rape than those not taking a self-pro- tective measure. With the chance that one out of every 600 women will be a rape victim this year, the Victims Resource Center, in coop- eration with the YW /WMCA, offers the personal-self-defense course as a community service to the women and children of Wyoming Valley. Call the VRC at 823-0765 for a reservation.
