Damsel in Defense

Our mission is to equip, empower, and educate women to protect themselves and their families. Our Damsel Pros are not only arming others and experiencing financial freedom, but also offering empowerment and healing to those affected by assault.


One by one, we are changing statistics and making a difference in the lives of those who have been assaulted.


As we continue to grow, our hearts and eyes are wide open for where God will take us next. Whether you are a customer, a hostess or an Independent Damsel Pro, we thank you for being a part of this journey!
