One Day for All — Mind & Body Defence Workshop

As part of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we at the Rotaract Club of Mersin are proud to have contributed to the global "One Day for All – Global Action for Violence Against Women" project, held around the world on 29 November 2025.

Violence against women is not an individual issue but a wound in society; we will heal it together.

As part of this global movement, we organized the "Mind & Body Defence Workshop" to strengthen both physical self-defence skills and awareness of psychological violence.

In our workshop: Self-Defence Training — Meriç Özdeş gave us self-defence training and taught us effective techniques to protect ourselves. The Violence You Cannot See: Life Under Psychological Abuse — Clinical Psychologist Ali Selim Mansız delivered a valuable presentation that raised our awareness of the impact of psychological violence.

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to Sayapark for hosting our event and for their support and hospitality.

You can follow events around the world on the One Day for All page.
