Wearing pepper spray is prohibited in the Netherlands according to the Wapen en Ammunition Act. After a question from CDA’er Derk Boswijk, Van Weel states that he wants to ‘want to’ look at the legalization of PepperSpray.
According to the VVD member, however, the ‘problem’ is not solved by legalizing a Pepperspray van in the handbag of women. He says he will soon list all measures taken and then investigate what steps the safety of women can increase. He is now going to find out whether this can be made possible quickly as the ultimate remedium for women ‘.
Movement started
Since the murder of 17-year-old Lisa from Abcoude, a movement has started in the Netherlands to ‘claim the night’, as the slogan has been getting out of many women in recent weeks to raise problems such as street intimidation and insecurity during the night.
GL/PvdA member Songül Mutluer therefore urges the minister to hurry for this ‘structural problem’. “Almost everyone thinks:” I could have been. ” It is also not an incident. A woman is killed almost every eight days. “

In addition, the Member of Parliament indicates that she does not hope that the ‘extremes’ use this incident for ‘their political agenda’, she refers to parties such as the PVV and FVD who link the murder of Lisa to migration -critical views. The SGP states that the women’s image is the result of ‘the woman as a pleasure object’, something that, according to Diederik van Dijk (SGP), is among other things the result of ‘pornography’ that the party wants to restrict with its election program.
The suspect had a violent past
For example, 17-year-old Lisa was probably murdered two weeks ago by a 22-year-old suspect man who is now in custody. He himself says he comes from Nigeria, but the OM has not yet been able to confirm its nationality. It is known that he has a past with a rape and an attempt at sexual violence to his name.

Van Weel says that several factors play a role. He mentions ‘the culture’ in different sectors of society, but also ‘the enforcement on the street, street lighting and upbringing’ are causes according to the VVD member. On behalf of the government, he indicates that he wants to investigate which additional measures can contribute to the reduction of such incidents.
