Make it legal for women to carry and use pava/pepper spray for self defense.
Allow women to apply for a licence to carry and use pava/pepper spray to defend themselves from the ever increasing violence being used against them by men.
Women are under attack in Britain. We are seeing dramatic increases in violence against women and young female children. This has always been an issue but has recently been significant exacerbated by the importation of men from often dangerous and misogynistic parts of the world who have committed violence against women and children in UK. Women should have the right to defend themselves. Please give them that ability, subject to responsible use and only in an emergency.
