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 Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you want people to have time off for Eid, but it's not clear if you want this to be one or two days. We also can't publish petitions that call for new legal entitlements for people of a particular faith, as this would not be consistent with the Equality Act.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Make Eid a national holiday for all citizens: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/581489

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