Petition Remove UK signature from amended FCDO policy statement

The UK Government needs to revoke its signature on the amended FCDO statement issued this July, on freedom of religion or belief and gender equality. This statement removed the written commitment to uphold women's "sexual and reproductive health and rights, bodily autonomy."

More details

"Bodily autonomy" is the right to make decisions over one's own life & future. It is being empowered to make informed choices. 15 countries that signed the original statement have not signed the amended statement. Why did the UK Government sign for this change, this lack of written commitment? Why are they not standing for women's rights? They need to revoke their signature - now - before women's rights are written out entirely. It only ever starts with one change.
