Just Yell Fire

This morning, I watched an interview with a 15-year-old girl who made a film, Just Yell Fire, that shows girls how to escape from an attacker.

The website, http://www.justyellfire.com/index.php provides the details, as well as a free download of the film.

This is the kind of education all girls need! Not every girl will win her fight against an attacker, but more girls have a better chance to get away if they use the strategies provided in this film. It appears to be simple to learn, and with repeated practice, the moves should become muscle memory in case a girl is ever attacked.

I'm no longer a girl, but I am a potential victim, so I have downloaded the film and plan to watch it several times, as well as practice to protect myself from an attacker.

Please pass it on.
