Feminist Self-Defense
SLAGTOG
Slagtog is a feminist non-profit organization in Iceland led by migrant women and queer people. We teach and develop feminist self defense for women and LGBTQIA+ people.
Feminist self defense functions as primary, secondary and tertiary prevention against gender-based violence.
So What Is Actually
Feminist Self - Defense?
Feminist self defense (FSD) is a tool for women and trans people to rediscover their strength, self-worth, autonomy and feeling of empowerment.
FSD provides its participants with a safer space to reflect on their experiences of sexism and violence, develop prevention strategies, and learn and test verbal and physical defense techniques. This in turn provides participants with more choices when faced with discrimination and violence.
Slagtog offers multiple workshops in feminist self defense. In our workshops we teach through games, discussions, exercises, sharing stories and experiences. Together we learn about different ways to defend ourselves from different kinds of aggressions, varying from rude or unwanted comments to straight up physical assault.
All of the trainers have lived experiences of gender based violence and discrimination. After participating in workshops, women and queer people alike describe an increased feeling of safety and more self-confidence in uncomfortable and/or unsafe situations.
