Rejected petition Properly act now to protect Yazidi women and children from brutal male violence.

The 2014 genocide of the Yazidi is well documented. The sustained unbridled sexual violence to children and women is well documented and continues now. We wish this British Government to take immediate, definitive action to defend the Yazidi and rescue women and children from daily physical harm.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. You could start a petition calling on the Government to take a specific action to protect Yazidi women and children.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
