About Us

"It Shouldn't Be Risky" is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2023. Our mandate is to offer high-quality self-defence training programs specifically designed for women. We are committed to promoting inclusivity, accessibility, and a supportive environment for all participants. As we expand nationwide, we aim to collaborate with local communities, organizations, and authorities to advocate for women's safety and create lasting change. We currently operate in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada, but intend to expand into the rest of Canada within the next five years.
