what would you suggest getting a woman who fears being with a man who physically abused her? apart from the obvious "stay away" or "get a dog". I know that pepper gas is illegal. Does anyone has an idea? Any way of getting a tear gas spray or anything like this?
Please let me know if you know where to get it as well.
Many thanks for the constructive help.

how about someone else around all the time as a check? parents, etc?
any tool is not going to help as he can overpower it easily if he is really determined

Thanks for the advice so far. Much appreciated but it's a bit more complicated. I was only looking for a tool to provide her. If anyone knows of anything please let me know what and where to get it.
Cheers

mrsmith, is that suppose to be a joke...? Or you are suggesting to use this spray as a defencive mode?

Any tool that she can use, can be used against her.
If she does use it, it will probably provoke an upscaling in the abuse she is getting already.
If she is being abused in a relationship/marriage/family she could/would not use it anyway.
The only cure for abuse is for the victim to remove themselves from the abuser. No matter how complex the situation.

While ago I was reading information that teaching women self-defense. I also wonder if those little tips could help. Like someone above said, the guy can force take the weapon and attack you and it could be worse. The information I read said to do nothing is actually worse, when the guy know you are trying to fight back he usually will run, as he don't want too much trouble. well .... am not sure. Different situations make different approach...

get a capsicum, grind up the seeds, put the juice in a mini sprayer bottle (small enough to fit in her purse). This is known as pepper spray, and is an offensive weapon.
If she sees this man, she can discretely open her bag & put her hand on this, and feel safe knowing she can defend herself.

Hi ODS
What you say is advice in cases where people are attacked by a stranger on the street.
Defending from an attacker is different to defending yourself from an abuser, someone you know, who feels they have some right to mistreat you.
