This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

Sexual assault is already illegal, but you might like to sign the following petition calling for a similar action:

Make sexual harassment a specific criminal offence: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/578940

We could accept a petition calling for certain actions to be made specific criminal offences, but you'd need to be clear what actions you wanted to be made offences.
