What the petition asks

RAISE DOMESTIC ABUSE AWARNESS IN THIS PANDEMIC!!!!!!
ALL businesses that have remained open must have LARGE VISIBLE posters printed at STORE ENTERANCES. They should include translations in different languages. Emphasise calling 999 then 55 on posters-not everyone is aware of this. PLEASE HELP!
So many people are trapped behind locked doors during this pandemic.
We must help them and spread IMMIDIATE awareness.
The only place they can escape to, may just be the local convenience or supermarket. By having these posters AT the front of the store where we all QUE, the poster can be read by all nationalities in different languages. We are giving victims hope that they can escape and be helped!! We don't know how long we have left in isolation, so please lets act now and SAVE LIVES TODAY!!

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The Government is not responsible for what material are displayed at retailers. This is a matter for individual retailers, not the Government or House of Commons.
