Decriminalise self-defence by any means against sexual assault

Background

Reform self-defence laws to ensure anyone resisting an attempted sexual assault can use any means necessary. The law must recognise that using a tool to stop a larger attacker is a proportionate and lawful act of prevention.

Additional details

We believe the current legal framework for self-defence is failing victims of sexual assault.
