Closed petition Legalise the the possession of pepper spray in the United Kingdom
Closed on
Statistically 80,000 women are raped in the UK each year, along with 400,000 women being sexually assaulted/harassed. This is a very frightening statistic that should be confronted. Women are not the only victims, men as well. There is a lack of effective self defence methods which are legal.
