Pink Belt Project was started in 2018 by West Australian Black Belt mum Kristy Hitchens (aka The Mortal Mouse Taekwondo Blogger) who was inspired by the journey of a friend impacted by domestic violence.

All Pink Belt Scholarship applications for 2021 are now closed. Read the powerful stories below by Pink Belt Scholarship recipients about the impact their training is having on their lives. And if you have any questions, feel free to email Project Founder Kristy Hitchens (kristy@pinkbelt.com.au) or message the FB page.
