Petition Make it illegal for an employer to impose gender specific dress codes on staff.

Most companies in the service and corporate sector have strict uniform guidelines that include elements like; Women must wear skirts, men must wear trousers. Women must wear make-up, men must not wear make-up. Women are allowed long hair styles, men are allowed only short hair styles. If an employee does not comply with the uniform guidelines, as per their predefined gender, the employee will be subject to disciplinary procedure which may include dismissal. The aim with this petition is to make it a legal requirement for the employer to remove all gender references in regards to company dress and grooming standards, and that any imposed standard may be followed by any employee regardless of the employees’ gender association.
