RISHA PATAK-HARIE from I-lead self-defense.
As South Africans, we face various forms of violence. Our government has shown its position on combatting GBV, which looks progressive on paper only. As we operate in territories we are familiar with and experts at, we also need to know how to protect ourselves.
I am in conversation with Risha Patak-Harie from I-lead self-defense.
Following a near kidnapping on the streets of Johannesburg, founder Risha Patak-Harie created i-LEAD to help vulnerable women and children learn to protect themselves. The i-LEAD Self-Defense system is built for women and children and caters to real-life dangers and threat scenarios
