This petition was rejected

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 Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

The Equality Act 2010 says you must not be discriminated against because you are (or are not) a particular sex, and this covers employment. You can find out more about sex discrimination here: https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/advice-and-guidance/sex-discrimination

We understand that you're concerned about pay inequality between men and women, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

If there is a particular action you want the Government to take to tackle gender inequalities in pay you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

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