Rejected petition Reduce the stigma on male nurses and midwifes as a career path for pupils

We are doing our Citizenship Action for our GCSEs and my group and I decided that we want t reduce the stigma on male nurses and midwifes. Even though the number is growing, awareness is still needed and male nurses and midwifes still face scrutiny in the workplace today.

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 call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do to reduce stigma for male nurses and midwives. For example, you could start a petition asking the Government to run an awareness campaign.

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