Fund free rape alarms for all

Petition Details

The Government should fund free rape alarms, also known as personal attack alarms, for anyone in the UK who wants one.

Additional Information

Women want to make a stand for their safety when walking alone at night. This is not something women should have to think about but unfortunately this is not the case and we are forced to protect ourselves.

There is no doubt that the onus is not with the woman, and that we need to be doing more to stop the small minority who are responsible for this fear. However, if carrying a rape alarm makes someone feel safer and more protected at night then we should certainly make these accessible to all. These could be collected from local police stations or councils to ensure women feel safer when they are walking on their own.
