Karachi's Martial Arts Academy has begun offering special self-defence training to girls, following multiple knife assaults that took place in the last few weeks.
Since September, some 13 women have been reportedly stabbed in Karachi. It is believed that a knife-wielding man on a motorcycle wounded women walking on the streets of the Sindh capital. Local police claim to have arrested the prime suspect behind the series of the knife attacks.
The trainer Dilshad Ansari feels that it shouldn’t be an issue for women to learn self defence and that they must know how to protect themselves rather than being helpless when someone approaches them.
He also feels that there has been a shift in the people’s minds regarding the same.
