Rejected petition Open more women’s only gyms

To urge gyms to open more women’s only sections and/or to place more women’s only gyms around the country

More details

The reason I’d like this to happen is to prevent sexual harassment and assault against women at gyms all over the country. Many of us feel unsafe in normal gyms. I also feel this would help people with social anxiety and a fear of being harassed. Too many women have suffered, from non consensual videos/photos being taken of them when they’re only trying to exercise, to groping and staring. I believe making women’s only gyms more accessible would help with this issue and would encourage exercise.
