Closed petition Fund free self-defence classes for women in the UK

Closed on

We want the government to fund free self-defence classes for women and girls throughout communities in the U.K. The government needs to prioritize the health and safety of women for future generations, protecting them from potentially dangerous situations.

It is clear that women within this country are vulnerable to danger, and our safety is not always assured. Teaching women and young girls the skill of protecting themselves and disarming a potential threat not only helps give them the right to feel safe in a threatening environment but equipping them to defend the health and well-being of oneself from harm, and what could be the difference between life and death.
