Rejected petition Government to recognise that men also face sexism.
Recent government campaigns have shown very clearly, and wrongfully, that men cannot be domestically abused. It is important for the British people to recognise that sexism isn't only something that can be brought on to a woman but also a man, to give men a feeling of personal security, too.

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 run an advert campaign to raise awareness of domestic abuse committed against men.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
