Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament

Rejected petition Stop the statue of a Woman wearing an hijab being erected.

It is racist and offensive to all other women. Not all Muslim women wear the hijab neither do White or Black women

More details

I want to know who agreed this insult to all other women could be commissioned and who is paying for it from the Bankrupt Birmingham City Council
This is a racist and divisive and it should not be allowed
As a White British Woman I feel extremely offended by this Act of Divisive intent

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about local statues are a matter for local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.

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