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 UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about young people's body image. But we're not sure exactly what you mean by "Body shaming...needs to be a criminal offence'. For example, we're not exactly what behaviour you'd like to be defined as body-shaming.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what behaviour you'd like to make illegal.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
