India
We have partnered with the Red Brigade Lucknow for the distribution of our pepper spray in India. A non-governmental Women's rights group based out of Lucknow Uttar Pradesh, India they are also the first NGO that we partnered with when we began the distribution of pepper spray.
Founded in 2010, The Red Brigade is a group of sexual assault survivors. The group started with awareness campaigns regarding women's issues, dressed in their red and black saris. As the group grew in size, the Red Brigade members began teaching self defense techniques to their members and girls in Lucknow as a way to defend against sexual assault. They organize and distribute our pepper spray donations to women around Uttar Pradesh, and integrate the use of it into their self defense seminars
