Welcome to Empowered Protections & Defense
Empowered Protections & Defense, EP&D, is here to help you feel safer and more confident. Our self-defense awareness programs are designed to teach you essential skills to protect yourself and others. Join us in our mission to create a safer world today, one community at a time.
Empowered Protections & Defense, EP&D, is a multicultural, community based, non-profit organization that seeks to build a safer community for women through prevention and self-defense awareness.
In view of the ongoing rise in societal tensions and gender-based violence, we believe that our initiatives to educate and empower women of varied ages on the importance of being more aware, alert, and prepared will facilitate the building of healthy relationships, families, and conscious communities.
To achieve this vision, EP&D will educate through individual and group training within local communities and corporate environments, through community outreach and workshops. EP&D will offer services in line with our core values of awareness, protection, defense and security.

GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE AWARENESS AND PREVENTION
EP&D aspire to create a society where everyone is safe and respected, regardless of their gender. This means challenging harmful gender norms and stereotypes, promoting gender equality, and supporting survivors of gender-based violence.
