This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to contain a clear request for action by the UK Government and Parliament.
It's clear that you're concerned about the gender pay gap, but not clear what action you would like to see. The Government recently announced new measures to address the gender pay gap:

If you would like the Government or Parliament to take additional action, you could start a petition calling for that.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
