  Khalil Senosi / AP) At right, Mary Wanguyi, 77, practices self-defense moves as part of a new program to protect elderly women from rape

  In a twice-a-week class at a community center in Nairobi, an elderly Kenyan woman is teaching her peers how to combat potential rape attacks.

  
  

  Dr. Jake Sinclair, a founding member of Ujamaa, a non-governmental organization that helps rape victims and holds the self-defense classes, said many class members are grandmothers motivated by the fact that they are raising their children's children. The classes can provide protection for both generations, he said.

  "Ujamaa believes the empowerment of women and children includes the right to “Safety of Person.” Ujamaa has teamed up with NO MEANS NO WORLDWIDE to provide violence prevention classes free of charge to communities throughout Nairobi. One of the most successful and determined groups within the community are grandmothers (called sho shos in Kenya). These women have taken over 10 classes each and are currently creating their own “granny”-specific class to take to other sho sho’s around Nairobi. At one time the most resistant of our clients, sho sho’s are now true believers in their ability to prevail in assault and believe it’s time to pass it on!"

  These kind of self defence moves are useless.

  Learn from me better. I teach them the iron head skills and they can use their iron head to bang their rapists
