Rejected petition Safeguard adult entertainers from discrimination under the Equality Act 2010
We’re urging the Government to ensure the Equality Act 2010 is representative of all minority groups, providing inclusivity to ultimately safeguard adult entertainers from discrimination in the UK.
More details
While the Equality Act protects the UK workforce from discrimination relating to gender, race, belief, age, disability, gender reassignment, and sexual orientation, the Equality Act does not afford protection to those met with discrimination due to the industry in which they are employed.
Adult entertainers face direct discrimination frequently, often receiving less favourable treatment in comparison to workers not part of the adult industry.
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.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
We understand that you want adult entertainers to be protected from discrimination, but it's not clear what you want the Government to do to achieve this.
The Equality Act 2010 provides protection for particular characteristics, but does not protect specific groups of people. You could start a petition calling for occupation or employment status to be made a protected characteristic, with a view to protecting adult entertainers from discrimination.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
