Background
Right now in the UK, women are being targeted by illegals immigrants and homegrown UK men. This has been proven more than enough times (grooming gangs and illegal Immigrant Sexual Assaults). Women should have the right to defend themselves and pepper spray WOULD give women a fighting chance of getting away.
The current laws of “self defence” are obsolete and need updating to meet the situation in 2025 and beyond
