Closed petition Make hair colour a protected characteristic

Closed on

Imagine growing up constantly being picked on because of the colour of your hair.
Imagine being bullied and tormented because of the colour of your hair.
Imagine your child in tears.
Not fair is it.
Red heads should be protected from abuse by law.

As my sons get older they are learning that our society doesn’t like “gingers.” It has become acceptable to make fun of someone who has different coloured hair. People with ginger hair should have the same protections as others who suffer abuse because of how they look or how they were born.
