Self-defense workshop
– Fem Fest

locatie: WORM

Feministas en Rotterdam (FER) is excited to host a self-defence workshop in collaboration with WORM! The goal is to empower people with the practical tools and confidence to protect themselves in challenging situations. Learning self-defence is a vital way to reclaim personal safety, build resilience, and create a sense of community support.

The workshop will be led by Rosa Opstelten. Rosa (they/she) is a behavioral therapist and works as a personal- and boxing trainer at Queer Gym. Her work is mostly about listening to people carefully and letting them experience their soft and strong sides. In this workshop, Rosa will teach you multiple ways to defend yourself with easy techniques. They make space for conversation around topics as (queer-) safety and how we can create ways to find that in ourselves.
