Wake Up Creations presents Sakiye Rowthiram Pazhagu aka You Slay Girl. This is a musical to promote self-defense against sexual violence and domestic abuse for young girl children to women of all age groups.

This production is a musical choreographed with bharatanatyam, kattai koothu a traditional Indian street theatre art form, modern theatre and some indigenous martial art sequences. The musical contains flashing lights, loud music and dramatic scenes to emphasise the impact of sexual violence and importance of self-defense.

The musical comes out with a strong message for every child all the way to women of all ages to learn basics of Kravmaga, a street self-defense technique for all ages, fitness levels and body types.

Why address sexual violence?

This is a global problem. Most survivors of rape don't report it to the police 5 in 6 women who are raped don’t report – and the same is true for 4 in 5 men.Lots of these survivors tell someone else what happened. So, why don't they tell the police?

40% said ‘embarrassment’
38% said they didn’t think the police could help
34% said they thought it would be humiliating

Our Mission

It is not possible for police or judicial system to protect every girl child or women all the time. We are on a mission to inspire children and women of all ages to know the basics of self-defense regardless of their age, fitness levels and social status. We sign them up for courses offered by certified instructors local to them to convert their inspiration into practise for self-protextion.

Our Vision:

Our vision is to perform this musical production in every community, school, college, corporate and public places to raise awareness and sign up locals to learn basics of self-defense to sexual violence and rape.

Our Achievement

We came out with this musical after the 'Me Too' movement spiked up. We have completed 25 shows and inspired 5000+ women and children globally. We have a long way to go and we look upto the support of local and national governments to support us to inspire the children and women of all ages to learn, prioritise and practise self-defense with our certified local instructor network in their areas.

Impacts Created

We have inspired women and children in malls, schools, colleges and corporate workplaces to learn self-defense to fight sexual violence and domestic abuse.
