Self Defece Law to be created in the UK
Thousands of people are serving prison sentences because they have stood up against abusers.
Today's law states that you should let the attacker kill or injure you without recourse.
20% of women in prison are serving sentences because they fought back against abusers. This is wrong, please sign in order for our government to acknowledge self defence
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. Self-defence is already available as a defence in some circumstances. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly how you would like the law to be changed.
