Environment Health & Safety (EH&S) recently hosted a series of Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) courses to help equip women working in UCLA field research with effective self-defense options. The free courses were taught by EH&S and UCLA Administration’s Allison Hui and Shauna Charles — both certified RAD instructors — with bonus classes by UCLA professor Jay O’Shea. Learning and practicing the skills covered in this course not only has the potential to instill added confidence, but also allows participants an opportunity to test what they’ve learned, making it easier for the techniques to become second nature when needed! Thank you to all who participated!
