Amid increased gender-based violence, initiative to train Gazan women on Kung Fu

Noting the significant increase in cases of violence against women, with 80 percent of Gazan women experiencing violence, Faten Al Naqla launched an initiative to train women on Kung Fu to defend themselves.

The 3-month training teaches trainees martial arts through certain practices and movements.

Trainer Al Naqla said that she also aims to expand the scope of benefit by preparing trainers who are able to teach self-defense to others across the strip.

The initiative was favorably received by Gazan women since it increases their confidence and equips them with the necessary skills to face any potential violence.
