Might (NOT) Help: Weaker Evidence

1. Empowerment Self-Defense (ESD) - $200 to $4000

• Unfortunately, I cannot ethically recommend specific ESD providers due to so many (both non-profits and for profits) charging excessively high hourly fees to victims and survivors.
• By 2027, I will be pilot-testing a low-cost, scalable solution for the entire U.S., and maybe the rest of the world. However, I will also be researching potential negative spillover effects since this has not been researched before. If there are negative spillover effects, I will look for cost-effective ways to mitigate them (e.g. screen out bad actors, etc.) Several ESD practitioners will likely oppose my research efforts because it cuts into their profits. I will likely lose my ESD instructor certification when I announce my study (I am currently training to become an ESD instructor).
