NO MEANS NO WORLDWIDE is a coalition of professional men and women working to bring rape prevention strategies to the far reaches of the world. We come from all walks of life to participate in the development and programming of NO MEANS NO. There are 5 core members called the  Comet Group Local,  and 12 core consulting Self Defense trainers called the Comet Group National with a combined teaching experience of 232 years, and a 17 member Global Advisory panel.

It is our mission to bring simple, high impact Self Defense training to as many women and children as possible worldwide. We believe prevention is key in the global rape epidemic. For far too long the overwhelming focus has been on aftercare strategies – this needs to change. It is believed that Self Defense training can raise a woman or child’s chance of prevailing in a sexual assault by up to 85%. It is our vision to mainstream self defense and end the fallacies and myths surrounding a woman or child’s ability to stop an assault

NO MEANS NO WORLDWIDE is the creation of Lee Sinclair, a writer and activist living in San Francisco. Lee is the founder and former director of the first full time, year round, slum based self defense training program in the world. This program was called I’M WORTH DEFENDING.  Lee continues to promote 12 step programs for sexual assault survivors in Africa and is active in creating Daycare co-ops for the prevention of baby rape.
