Petition Action

Debate female safety. E.g use self defence without being prosecuted.

Petition Details

I want to the government to make it legal for women to be able to use self defence in order to keep themselves safe in the community. Self defence weapons: pepper spray, pocket knives- can be used when unsafe. If used unlawfully they can be prosecuted for the correct offence.

Additional Information

Because of the raising concerns in our community over female safety. A YouGov poll showed 99% of women/girls have been sexually harassed and or cat called in society by men. This need to stop and I’m planning on doing so.
