This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

A domestic worker facing a threat in her employer’s home has no HR department to call, no reliable crisis line, and no training in what to actually do in the next ten minutes, let alone the next ten months.

Most personal-safety content assumes a functioning institution is standing behind every learner, leaving exactly the people who need a plan most with none at all.

GBV Defense Mastery closes that gap directly, teaching daily countermeasures, a replicable collective-defense model, and crisis protocols that work whether or not any system has your back.

This course is built from 21 verified primary sources spanning UN Women, the South African Medical Research Council, the ILO, and the regulatory frameworks of the US, UK, EU, South Africa, and the Philippines, placing South Africa on equal footing with every other core market covered [Source: SAMRC, 2024]. Its flagship collective-defense model is adapted from real, documented community-mobilization precedent, not invented from scratch [Source: Raising Voices/UN Women EndVAWnow]. This is not an awareness seminar. This is a professional competency program.

By the end of this course, you will have built a complete, working protection plan, not just reviewed one:

• Build a working protection plan combining daily countermeasures, a crisis contact card, and a dated collective-defense commitment

• Launch a safety circle, transport arrangement, or trained watch group using a documented, replicable model

• Execute the correct in-the-moment response to an active threat and the universal first-hour sequence after it

• Map the global regulatory landscape across six jurisdictions, including South Africa’s actual institutional framework

• Draft or audit a GBV-informed workplace policy against the ILO Convention 190 baseline

• Push for institutional support where none currently exists, using a specific, dated advocacy request

• Identify verified resources for male victims and victims of different sexual orientation, not only women

This course includes 31 downloadable resources, each a professional-grade Resource Guide paired with a ready-to-use Practical Tool, including a South Africa Resource Map, a Safety Circle Starter Kit, a Global GBV Regulatory Map, a Personal Crisis Contact Card, a GBV-Informed Workplace Policy Template, and your own completed Protection Plan Builder.

Every framework, statistic, and regulation is traceable to a named, verified source, including ILO Convention 190, the US Violence Against Women Act, the UK Domestic Abuse Act, and South Africa’s own National Council on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide Act. No prior specialized training is required.

You do not need a system behind you to be safe. You need a plan, a circle, and these skills. Enroll now and build yours.
