How much thought and preperation have you put into your personal safety?
We cannot predict when we will be touched by violent
crime but we can control how we will react.
Four out of the top ten most dangerous cities in Africa are located in South Africa, which has also earned the reputation of being called the world’s rape capital. Furthermore, DataPandas has ranked South Africa as the “Most Dangerous Country for Women.“
We simply cannot rely on our government or police to keep us safe, it is critical to equip ourselves with the tools necessary to protect ourselves and our loved ones in life-threatening situation
What We Do
INpowered is an organization dedicated to equipping both women and men with the essential tools to protect yourself.
Our mission is to INpower you with the knowledge and options needed to make informed choices, preventing you from feeling clueless, defenceless, and vulnerable to an assailant’s mercy
What is WIP?
WIP is an extremely simple, easy to learn, yet devastatingly effective self INpowerment system that has been designed specifically for women to give them the mental and physical ability to make a Choice in a threatening situation.
Why GRIP?
Most men believe they can, and most women think they can’t; the truth is both are mistaken. Unless one has been taught, they do not truly know how. Men often endanger themselves and their families by assuming they can fight and protect simply because they are men. Similarly, women may rely on men, believing that being a man equates to the ability to protect. However, this is not the case unless he actually KNOWS how, not just thinks he knows how.
INpowered has influenced and changed lives
The principals I’ve learnt in this course have become so ingrained in my way of thinking in any situation. I think it is because they are principals of common sense but also years of expert experience and passion for inpowering us as woman.“

I would just like to thank you for allowing the WIP course to take place.
Chené (Grade 10 Pupil)
It was one of the most beneficial courses that has been presented to us as these are situations that may arise in our lifetime and I think it gave all of the girls a sense of ability and allowing our minds to be opened and allowing us to know what to do in difficult situations.
A powerful and effective way to gather thoughts in singular moments that matter, and then that breakthrough…I encourage my friends and family to participate in this life changing life saving knowledge share

I don’t think you could ever know what an impact it had on me and my daughter (and the two tweenies who attended with us)…Please please please can you guys do another workshop? One like you did in PE? Do it nationwide and help these ladies understand
–Lise
Since the workshop I have noticed a difference. I feel more confident and comfortable when I am out in public. I’m not as bothered with people standing so close to me. The other day I was feeling nervous and I was immediately reminded that I have another option…Your workshop has helped in so many ways! Most of them I would have never suspected. I still have a long way to go but I have you to thank for the start!
We all go through life saying; “It won’t happen to me”. We hope and pray that we will not be placed in a potentially life-threatening situation, facing death or rape. The reality is that it does happen, and I know that through WIP I have been given a choice. I decide how to respond. I choose!Thank you for affording me the opportunity to be more aware and to know that I have a choice.

Our daughters who are leaving school soon to go into that big bad world need a chance to survive. I believe that I have given my daughter that chance and I am comfortable to send her to a strange town to a residence or digs and know she can look after herself. Not only has WIP taught her that physically but on a mental level too. She is aware and knows she has a choice.
Having done the WIP course, it has helped me feel more in control of my surroundings, in that I feel not so helpless anymore when faced with certain unusual/suspect situations. I now know that if confronted I can try my very best to either fight or flight and have the mental and yes even physical strength needed to protect myself and my family. I don’t feel that dreaded fear in my chest anymore.”
Hills
Just wanted to say how fortunate I feel to have had the opportunity to do WIP. It was such an exhilarating and empowering experience and I can truly say that I feel that I now have a choice. I will continue spreading the word to all my lady friends as I believe that the course adds exceptional value and is a must for any lady out there. Thank you for the professional yet relaxed manner in which you conducted the course.
Jane
After being INpowered, I know that no matter what happens I always have a choice. My power is my own and no matter what happens, no one can ever take that away from me. Your course is an absolute essential for any woman living in the world today and I plan on spreading that exact message far and wide.
