This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

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: 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.
