Introduce mandatory trigger warnings on fiction books

Petition Details

We would like the government to introduce mandatory trigger warnings on fiction books. This will include warnings for sexual assault, rape, and violence.

Additional Information

Trigger warnings can be a simple sticker on the cover or in the introduction of a novel, stating that there is sensitive material to come.

As someone who is recovering from PTSD, I can find it deeply distressing to immerse myself in a novel and find myself reading about rape scene with no warning.
