Goal
Our goal is to make children and adults more resilient to bullying, domestic violence and social insecurity on the streets.
Program
The Unit, the Netherlands -Texel- is specialized in Judo, Jiu-Jutsu, Karate allround and Krav Maga, with special attention to children and adults to achieve our goals; make children and adults more physically and mentally resilient.
New on the program is teaching Dutch children falling-skills with to reduce the risk of injuries related to physical activity and sport by 50%!!! We also want to contribute to reduce obesity among children by offering them an active program. Many injuries come due falling. The Netherlands: 20.000 sport injuries,
20.000 in- and around home injuries of which 4.000 playing outside. We are working on a nationwide implementation of social- and physical resilience and falling skills. Additional funding will be needed for further implementation research.
Bullying
Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior manifested by the use of force or coercion to affect others, particularly when the behavior is habitual and involves an imbalance of power. It can include verbal harassment, physical assault or coercion and may be directed repeatedly towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability.
Bullying consists of three basic types of abuse – emotional, verbal, and physical. It typically involves subtle methods of coercion such as intimidation. Bullying can occur in any context in which human beings interact with each other. This includes school, church, family, the workplace, home, and neighborhoods. Bullying also exist between social groups and social classes.
Domestic violence/femicide
Awareness, perception, definition and documentation of domestic violence differ widely from country to country, and from era to era. At this moment, the Netherlands give high priority to preventing and combating domestic violence and femicide.
We -as Femeraid the Netherlands-, support these initiatives and offer a teaching program that fits in with them.
Domestic violence, also known as domestic abuse, spousal abuse, battering, family violence, and intimate partner violence (IPV), is broadly defined as a pattern of abusive behaviors by one or both partners in an intimate relationship. Domestic violence has many forms, including physical aggression or assault or threats thereof; sexual abuse; emotional abuse; controlling or domineering; intimidation; stalking; passive/covert abuse (e.g., neglect); and economic deprivation. Domestic violence can also mean endangerment, criminal coercion, kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, trespassing, harassment, stalking or lead to femicide.
