It is important to empower individuals from our communities with the skills and techniques that they can use to get out of potentially dangerous situations. Epic Foundation uses a network of highly skilled instructors to provide self-defence training throughout the year.

Education and awareness campaigns about rape are presented to various groups, including schools – what do you do when you are raped, the importance of DNA evidence, preventing HIV Aids after rape, the effects of ARVs and the importance of taking them, etc.

The EPIC foundation also provides motivational talks to individuals who are survivors of rape and abuse. Alta McMaster is the key motivational speaker, and she uses her life story – Turning Violation into Victory – as the focal point of her talks. Alta draws on her experiences to inspire and motivate individuals to stand up and speak out as part of their healing process. The objective of the talk is to motivate and to let people know that they are not alone, and that they are not to blame. Through these talks and services of the Foundation survivors are introduced to the groups, so that they have a point of contact when in need. Valuable information is also shared so that people have easy access to information should they find themselves in a crisis.
