every time i leave my house, i'm harassed

i'm a 23yo woman living in Belguim (have never lived anywhere else) and yeah, title. it's getting to the point that i'm afraid of my front door. i'm a metalhead through and throughdo ofc in this heat i'm gonne dress cool asf. i haven't worn an outfit i can call pretty outside in months because if i do, i just know my history with creeps will be repeated; -'you're a real life OF girl, let me see some' (i am not one of those online attention seekers) -'you should come sit here' touches himself -stalked me through the whole town taking pictures of me until a kind man who saw stood by me, the stalker was only stopped by me getting on a bus last minute -sits next to me at an empty bus station, arm and leg fully touching mine. i got up immediatly and went to the other side of the bus station to hide behind a wall

i don't ever want to step outside again without either my man by my side or some kind of self defense tool. now the problem is that in Europe, you can only defend yourself in the manner that your attacker has already harmed you or YOU will be the one getting jail time for unnecessary violence. So if the harasser has wrapped his arm around your waist, you can't even do anything to him. So i'm looking for more self defense tools allowed in Europe. My man has bought me identification spray, hoping to find something better than 72 hour paint.
