Our Mission
Surviving the Red Zone is a specialized self-defense and safety education company dedicated to empowering college-bound women and current female students with the skills, strategies, and confidence they need to protect themselves from sexual assault.
Our name references “The Red Zone”—the period between the start of the fall semester and Thanksgiving break, when over 50% of sexual assaults on U.S. college campuses are reported to occur. We exist to change that statistic.
Through dynamic, trauma-informed seminars, we equip young women with situational awareness, real-world self-defense techniques, predator recognition training, and the confidence to assert boundaries in unfamiliar or high-risk environments. Our mission is clear: to help young women step onto campus not just excited—but empowered, educated, and prepared.
