Global program architecture
One core curriculum. Nine regional editions.
StreetWise Women™ is built globally and localized to the environment the learner actually lives, works or travels in — the same core skills everywhere, with the law, emergency systems and support resources that apply where she is.
The 70 / 30 model
Global core plus regional localization
Global core
70%Identical in every edition. This is the skill set — it does not change with geography.
- · Situational awareness and baseline reading
- · Recognizing concerning behaviour and pre-incident indicators
- · Boundaries and assertive communication
- · Verbal de-escalation
- · Disengagement and escape
- · Seeking assistance and drawing safe attention
- · Personal emergency planning
- · Travel awareness
- · Scenario-based decision making (StreetWise Scenario Lab™)
Regional layer
30%Swapped per edition so the guidance is legally accurate and actually usable on the ground.
- · Emergency numbers and responding agencies
- · Local terminology and language scripts
- · Police and reporting procedures
- · Relevant civilian self-protection law
- · Transportation systems and transit norms
- · Rideshare and taxi practice
- · Emergency-alert systems
- · Stalking and harassment resources
- · Culturally appropriate scenarios
- · Weather and disaster preparedness
- · Local support organizations
The learner completes the universal core once, selects her country of residence or travel destination, and is automatically assigned the matching regional module. Travelling to a second region? Add that regional module without repeating the core.
Editions
Regional editions and country packs
Select an edition to see its localization focus and the country packs planned beneath it. Country packs go one level deeper — national emergency numbers, reporting procedure, transport culture and named local support organizations.
Canada is the first edition in delivery. Additional editions are released as regional legal and emergency-procedure review is completed; country packs follow each edition.
Enterprise territories
Why we do not teach an "EMEA" course
EMEA is a useful commercial territory for licensing and account management, but it is far too broad for personal-safety training: Europe, the Middle East and Africa differ in legal system, policing, infrastructure and culture. Organizations buy by territory; learners always train in a specific regional edition — Europe, Middle East or Africa — never a blended one.
