Petition · past parliament

I would like to get Pro-Ana (promoting anorexia nervosa) websites shut down.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

I am a sufferer of anorexia nervosa and understand how much these websites can affect people's lives. Teenagers of both male and female are vulnerable and self conscious to their bodies and these websites do not help.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Make Pro-Anorexia websites a criminal offence.
