Change the skirt length requirements in the UK schools.

Petition Details

Help young girls be able to wear a skirt to a length they want, without being told off because it’s ‘distracting’ to males.

Additional Information

Most requirements for school uniform are aimed at girls. Skirt lengths are something not only me but also many others, find is extremely sexist to girls. Having a skirt that does not go to your knees will not affect anyone’s learning. Girls should not be punished for a male’s dirty mind. No one finds legs attracting to them. I don’t see why us girls should be punished for another’s dirty mind. Please help us girls to equality!! It is unfair how it’s mostly us girls getting scolded for uniform!!!
