Rejected petition Improve Gender Equality Protections and Close the Inequality Gap by 2040

Gender inequality laws and policies are not working. We are not doing enough to close the gap or hold organisations to account for gender inequality.

No one in our society should be treated with any less respect or dignity because of their gender – including women, men and gender-neutral people.

More details

Improved laws are urgently needed include:
• Equal pay & benefits.
• Equal access to education.
• Pension access gender equality.
• Equal representation in power and decision-making.
• The elimination of services or products excluding genders.
• Eliminate gender-biased media reporting, which humiliates.
• Equal access to healthcare and social care services.
• Better protections from violence, harassment, and discrimination.
• Elimination of gender-biased marketing of products or services.
