The two-day HDFF-designed HEAT Women’s Security Training is a gender-specific workshop that aims to enable implementing female personnel to cope with gender-based security issues. It also includes hotel security-related matters and a female-centered approach to situational awareness. Practical sessions and briefings on PTSD/MHPSS, weapons effects, and active shooter behavior are at the core of this training. This training will increase the mitigation skills of the participants who, in the practical component of the course, will gain confidence in dealing with issues such as
aggression and violent crime, and learn basic self-defense techniques. This will increase the confidence of female staff members during their daily commute and work.
Remark: all shared private experiences of the participants stay private!
