Be Safe, Be Smart, Be Strong: An Interview with Gabrielle Rubin, Founder of Female Awareness
“Where’s the safest place to stand in an elevator? What’s the one word you should shout if you’re attacked? How do you escape from a chokehold? All over America, women are learning real-world safety tips from Gabrielle “Gabi” Rubin, a World Black Belt Member and the founder of Female Awareness, Inc.
‘Preventing an attack altogether is the goal of Female Awareness’, said Gabi. ‘My students learn how to minimize the chance of being targeted and how to respond effectively if they are.’
Situational awareness and a few simple moves can make the difference between being safe and being a statistic. Female Awareness is that difference.
