How a neighborhood self-defense class became a global movement
In short: Rana Abdelhamid transformed a local initiative into a worldwide network for women's safety and solidarity. This talk explores the three core ingredients required to build a movement from the ground up.
Starting at age 16, Abdelhamid began teaching self-defense to women and girls in her local neighborhood. Over the next decade, these community classes evolved into Malikah, a global grassroots network focused on creating power and solidarity.
The presentation breaks down the specific strategies used to scale a small, community-based project into a large-scale movement, offering a blueprint for grassroots organizing.
