Rejected petition Reform the Uniform Rules against Hijab in Southwark

We have realised that there has been an enormous outburst of discrimination in schools against hijab wearing and rules to prohibit the freedom at which we as hijab wearers express our faith through our headscarf’s in coordance with our religion.

More details

We need the help and aid of the government to change the rules about This in all schools in Southwark as it would aid the Muslim community and bring forth young and empowered Muslim women despite the media’s portrayal of hijab oppressing young ladies we wish to subvert this misinformation and portray that instead we are oppressed by rules in society which prohibit the way we continue our faith a crucial failing of a democratic country such as England
