Rejected petition Change sexual harassment laws to include material send by social media

It has become a common occurrence for women, especially young women, to be sexually harassed/ intimidated through social media. This predatory behaviour by young men needs to stop and the law needs updating.

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 UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. You could start a new petition asking for sexual harassment, including on social media, to be made a specific criminal offence, if that's what you'd like to happen.

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