To this day, Iranian women still face discrimination, with restrictions in women’s rights right down to what they wear. Taking up ninjitsu, or the art of the ninja, has been one increasingly popular avenue for self-expression.

I salute these women…as justice has been a long time coming…
For to long now…there has been strong divisions between male and female…
That women have to resort to this…
shows the strength of their power to overcome…
If justice must come …through protection…
so be it…
I embrace their strength
Bravo!!!

Martial arts training should be compulsory for all school girls from age six. The world is clearly not a safe place when women are raped and beaten in huge numbers. Boys should be made to go to ethics classes from age eight, wilst the girls are in martial arts class. Women must know how to defend themselves by the time they leave school and enter the workforce.
