"Internationally renowned activist, organizer, and black belt Rana Abdelhamid wants every woman to be able to defend themselves, and every community to find safe spaces to lift each other out of situations that breed violence. Imagine a world where one in three women were not assaulted in their lifetimes? A world in which we didn't just accept that statistic and go about our days, but instead went out into our communities and made them safer? Despite the rampant physical, emotional, economic, and systemic violence that tries to rob us of our sense of power and security, Abdelhamid believes we still hold power and safety in our bodies--she has seen it, in women from every walk of life, from all over the world. She offers a revolutionary framework for building that safety, starting with emotional healing, then learning physical self-defense, establishing economic safety, and finally organizing to fight the systems that create and enable violence in the first place. With intimate stories from her own life growing up in Queens, New York's Little Egypt, and from the inspiring women around her, many of whom she meets in the self-defense workshops she teaches, Get Home Safe is both a manual and a confidante. Abdelhamid will inspire readers to stand up for their right to safety and start making change tomorrow"-- Provided by publisher.
