Rejected petition Get self defence for girls and women taught in schools!

After recent events that have happened to women in the uk. I believe that self defence should be taught as part of the PE curriculum in schools for all girls and young women. This would help protect women and give them the confidence to be able to walk alone or go out late at night!

More details

Over 510,000 women report cases of sexual harassment or sexual assault every year and this does not include cases that go unreported or ignored!

Something needs to be done to help women protect themselves and I strongly believe this starts at a young age. Please help me in achieving enough signatures to get my petition to parliament!

THE TIME FOR CHANGE IS NOW!
