Recently I have been harassed by strangers for my appearance and I feel unsafe where I live so I would love to learn how I can defend myself safely and effectively.

Join a self defence class. I am well trained in judo and it has served me well. It’s good to punch someone but it’s better to punch them with a concrete floor and to fold them up afterwards.
Also, you can already start with youtube tutorials of how to box. The channel Precision Striking has some good videos on shadow boxing you can do right away. In no way is it going to prepare you for an actual fight, but it will give you a feeling of how you throw punches and how you can throw punches and combo’s. Also, it’s a great cardio exercise.
I heard judo is also good if you have a size disadvantage
It can be depending on their skill. Larger opponents have their own challenges so it’s important to use groin strikes, eye gouging, etc if necessary.
I studied a little judo back in the day and I loved it. Punching someone with the concrete is definitely more efficient that’s for sure!
Personally I am not physically strong, but desire to do Judo throws. What amount of strength is required to be able to execute a judo throw successfully?
Technique can get you decently far. Plus you’ll get stronger when you practice of course. You’re also not really using your arm strength but it’s more twisting and turning and hooking. I wouldn’t be able to bicepcurl an 80kg guy but I can perfectly throw him.
