Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

A recent YouGov poll revealed that almost all young women (97%) have been sexually harassed. This is unacceptable. Make self defence classes a compulsory and free part of the PE curriculum for young women in schools. Help the female youth of today protect themselves from this ever-growing statistic.

We want the government to realise the magnitude of this issue and do better by the 97% of young women affected by sexual harassment. By introducing self defence classes as a compulsory part of the PE curriculum for young women. You will be offering a glimmer of hope of change and a way for young women to protect themselves. All young women deserve protection, all young women deserve change. Please add compulsory, free, self defence Classes as part of the PE curriculum for young women. Thanks.
