She Fights was created as a place for women fighters to find a community. The foundation has two branches: the Youth Boxing Program, which offers free boxing classes to young girls from low income backgrounds, and Feminist Fight Club, which allows fighters the opportunity to interact, spar, and mentor one another. About Youth Boxing Program:
We offer free boxing classes to girls aged 14-19 with th
e goal of fostering empowerment through boxing, instilling strength, tenacity, and self-patience. We are located in NYC. About Feminist Fight Club:
Inspired by Jessica Bennett's book Feminist Fight Club, and the countless female fighters who put in that hard work and receive neither fame nor fortune, we founded this group as a place women who fight could support one another in their quest to be their strongest, most badass selves. Jessica's hilarious, inspiring, tongue-in-cheek manifesto made us wonder how we could apply her rules for achieving equality in the workplace to achieving equality in the ring. With this Feminist Fight Club we give women the space to encourage one another, to act as mentors to other women in combat sports, and support women fighters seeking to gain recognition on the professional stage.
