Kuros!

Description

• A Fighting Chance 1 in 5 women will be sexually assaulted world wide during their life. At Kuros!, we believe in empowering women around the world by giving the option of self defense. For every Kuros product sold, a can of pepper spray is provided to a woman who could not otherwise afford it. While pepper spray is legal and sold in many countries, it is not economically attainable to the 1.4 billion people across the globe living in poverty. The idea for Kuros began on a cramped bus ride, traversing the Himalayan foothills from Delhi to Kathmandu. I had just graduated from Texas State and didn't know what I wanted to do with my life; so I packed a backpack and set out alone to find myself. Through a series of serendipitous events, I wound up making my way from Pakistan to Nepal. Being alone and isolated from everything gave me time to reflect on my life up to that point. I realized that I wanted to make a difference somehow; but more than that, I realized that I wanted to be a part of something bigger than myself. Assaults and sexual violence are a growing issue around the globe. In many countries where the laws and justice system are ineffective, women are in desperate need of immediate physical protection. They need an opportunity to take their protection -and their lives - into their own hands. They need an opportunity to break free from relying on the protection of others; they need an opportunity to grow and develop as individuals without living under the constant fear of being unarmed and alone. The peaceful protests, the organized rallies, and the cries for government intervention have gone unanswered for too long. Let us do something right here, right now and help give these women around the world a fighting chance.
