*Harvard is located in an urban setting and faces the safety and security
issues found in any city. The Harvard University Police is offering a
self-defense course open to all female Harvard affiliates.
>From the Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) website: “The Rape
Aggression Defense (RAD) Program taught by HUPD officers empowers female
students, faculty, and staff to combat various types of assaults by
providing them with realistic self-defense tactics and techniques. This
empowerment is taught through four basic principles: education, dependency
on self, making one’s own decisions, and realization of one’s own power.
The objective of RAD is to develop and enhance self-defense options for
women. The course, which consists of four, 4-hour classes, begins with
awareness, prevention, risk reduction, and risk avoidance, while
progressing to the basics of hands-on defense training. The classes provide
women with the knowledge to make educated decisions about resistance.”
We are offering a 4-hour introduction to RAD as well as the full 16-hour
course. You are not required to take the intro RAD to register for the
full RAD. Register by emailing dudleypublicservice(a)gmail.com. Spots will
be filled on a first-come-first-serve basis.
