Most likely good intentions, but I can't agree that this is the right solution. Why not train these women to use a taser, or other self defense? If they feel threatened they should organize community groups, neighborhood watches, inform the police. These likely are single women who have children at home, who will know momma has a gun. Do you really think these women will keep the guns locked away, or unloaded with ammo in a different place? More guns in the hood will not reduce violence.
