Rejected petition Support the installation of a statue in London dedicated to UK Women Veterans.

Women account for 10-12% for the Armed Forces Community. Yet, there are no gender specific statues that celebrate the contribution of modern day women veterans anywhere in London. Parliament should support the installation of a statue that recognises their service and sacrifice.

More details

Women Veterans are a minority group in the UK Armed Forces. Bizarrely, there are no, post WW2 statue's representing the service sacrifice and contribution of women service personnel or veterans in London.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Decisions about individual historical monuments, statues, plaques and street names are a matter for the local authority in which they are located and private landowners, not the UK Government or Parliament.

If you want to request the erection of a statue you should contact your local authority about this.

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