How to build a global grassroots network from a neighborhood class
In short: Rana Abdelhamid transformed local self-defense lessons into Malikah, a worldwide movement. This talk explores the specific ingredients required to scale a small community initiative into an international source of power and solidarity.
Starting at age 16, Abdelhamid began teaching self-defense to women and girls in her local neighborhood. Over nearly a decade, these classes evolved into Malikah, a global grassroots network focused on creating safety and solidarity for women everywhere.
The presentation outlines three core lessons for building movements from the ground up, focusing on how individual actions can scale into collective power.
