Host Abianna Solorzano sits down with Lieutenant Givo Ysael of the University Police Department at Stan State to discuss the re-implementation of the Rape Aggression Defense program, also known as R.A.D.

Aimed at women but available for all genders, the R.A.D. program provides participants with a comprehensive self-defense education that includes physical techniques, situational awareness lessons, and strategic scenarios that can be employed to prevent sexual assault. The curriculum also encourages participants to adopt proactive means to deal with potential situations, highlighting the importance of vigilance and preparedness.

If you or someone you know has been affected by a sexual assault, contact the Stan State Haven organization at 209-284-4593.
