Petition Action

Government to recognise that men also face sexism.

Petition Details

Recent government campaigns have shown very clearly, and wrongfully, that men cannot be domestically abused. It is important for the British people to recognise that sexism isn't only something that can be brought on to a woman but also a man, to give men a feeling of personal security, too.

Additional Information

Recent television campaign to prevent domestic violence called 'Disrespect Nobody' does not recognise that a male can face domestic violence.
Female teacher that paid student for sex receives community work sentence, whereas footballer who had relations with female is given a custodial sentence of 10 years with a minimum of 5 years, despite being consenting sex.
Rape is described in dictionaries as 'most often done by a man to a woman', this needs rectifying immediately.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. You could start a petition calling on the Government to run an advert campaign to raise awareness of domestic abuse committed against men.
