This paper explores the role of self-defense training (SDT) in enhancing personal safety for young women in Delhi, offering actionable recommendations for individuals and communities. It highlights key insights into physical techniques, mental preparedness, and effective awareness strategies such as workshops, social media campaigns, and educational collaborations. The research uncovers the persistent safety concerns faced by young women and the societal norms influencing their engagement with SDT. While safety, skill acquisition, and empowerment motivate participation, barriers like limited awareness and cultural constraints persist. The study emphasizes the need for tailored interventions to foster inclusivity and accessibility. Additionally, the Delhi Police plays a significant role through SDT programs, emergency helplines, and community outreach initiatives. Their collaborations with organizations and educational institutions amplify efforts to create a safer environment.
