Founded by Denida Zinxhiria, a female Close Protection Operative (bodyguard) and a group of Security professionals in 2002 in Athens Greece, Athena Worldwide and Athena Academy began with a mission to educate and empower women in personal Security and promote female security professionals. In mythology, Athena was known for her intelligence and prowess in defense. Our organization helps women apply these ideals through professional training to ensure people are safer. female bodyguard service
Athena Worldwide is dedicated to teaching women to think about Security from a new viewpoint. In the past, organizations have tried to teach women to "even the playing field". We believe this approach ill-equips women to learn strategy overstrikes. We keep it simple by using a modular "series of systems" designed to fit specific circumstances. The nuances of life affect different people in different ways, so essentially, students pick which applications benefit them the most. We know whats it takes to be a successful female Close Protection Operative (bodyguard). female bodyguard service
