Women should learn self-defense techniques to defend self against criminals, a report on GMA News' "24 Oras" newscast said on Monday.

Mary Joy Castillo, a self-defense expert, said it is important for women to learn self-defense techniques.

She said a woman should aim at the eyes, nose and stomach of an attacker.

Women should report incidents of violence, she added.

"Siguro nag-react ka, nanipa ka, it will not stop there, i-reklamo mo," Castillo said.
