After announcing the sponsorship of 10 female subscriptions to self-defence classes every week in August 2021, TITAN FX went further and announced their sponsorship of self-defence classes for everyone.
In Vanuatu, more than 60% of the women experience physical and/or sexual violence during their life.
Women, men, teenagers and children are demanding to attend self-defence classes.
However, often they simply can’t afford it and they stop coming to the self-defence classes.
Nazario Fiakaifonu, Olympian and Vanuatu Judo champion, volunteers every Saturday from 8am to 9am to teach basic self-defence technics.
After the announcement of the sponsorship of TITAN FX few weeks ago, the number of participants to the self-defence classes has increased significantly.
Fiakaifonu said “I was already thrilled to have the support from TITAN FX to support 10 Ni-Vanuatu women. Over the last weeks, the attendance to the sessions increased. There are more and more requests to show the basic techniques of self-defence. By giving access to the self-defence classes free of charge we are breaking down the barriers.”
James Hudson, TITAN FX General Manager, added “Mr. Nazario Fiakaifonu’s drive is amazing and it is a non-lucrative initiative. We were delighted to be able to support 10 women every week in learning the basic technics of self-defence. When we saw the success, we realised that we need to give access to more participants and contribute somehow to build a better Vanuatu.”
Few weeks ago, TITAN FX was standing up for woman in Vanuatu by sponsoring 10 female subscriptions to self-defence classes every week from August 2021 until the end of 2021.
After this announcement, the 500VT fee will be waived every week for everyone each Saturday until the end of the year.
