Delevingne: Self-Defense Empowers Women

Model and L'Oréal Paris ambassador Cara Delevingne is championing self-defense for women, particularly in observance of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. She believes acquiring self-defense skills, like martial arts which she practices, is empowering and essential for personal safety and aiding others. Delevingne encourages friends to take classes together.

Delevingne shared that her confidence in difficult situations began in childhood, and as she grew older, the need for alertness intensified due to personal space intrusions. She stresses the importance of remaining calm and having foresight in stressful encounters, suggesting physical activity and breathwork help maintain a good headspace and awareness.

L'Oréal Paris supports this mission through its Stand Up program, offering training to combat street harassment. Delevingne's role as an ambassador highlights her commitment to empowering women, echoing the brand's message that women can achieve their ambitions by owning their strengths and facing challenges.
