Own your zone
Description
Own Your Zone is a trauma-informed six-week empowerment programme developed by Central Women’s Aid to support women who have experienced domestic abuse. This carefully designed series of sessions focuses on helping women rebuild confidence, reconnect with their inner strength, reclaim their voices, and re-establish their personal space.
The emphasis is not on confrontation or combat, but on empowerment—supporting women to feel safer, more grounded, and more in control of their own bodies and environments.
The programme was developed by Emma Simons on behalf of Central Women’s Aid, drawing inspiration from Strike Back Self Defence (Strikebackselfdefence.com) and Krav Maga
techniques. With the guidance of mentor Charmaine Daley and in partnership with the This Girl Can project, the programme has been adapted to ensure it is accessible, inclusive, and responsive to the unique needs of survivors.
Each session is framed with care, grounding, and choice at its core—providing a safe, supportive space for women to learn practical tools that build self-awareness, situational
understanding, and a renewed sense of personal power.
