Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand you are concerned about this, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure what types of behaviour you would like to make illegal.

Harassment is already both a criminal offence and a civil action under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. You can find more information here: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/law-and-courts/discrimination/taking-action-about-discrimination/taking-action-about-harassment/

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
