Rejected petition Women in the UK must be free to work, travel and live free of sexual violence

Rejected on 19 January 2016

On New Year’s Eve, women across the EU were subjected to mass sex assaults. UK women must be free to travel, work and live without intimidation or sexual violence. We ask the Government to debate and enforce measures to promote and uphold women's rights irrespective of cultural attitudes.
