Renew Government funding of LGBTQ anti-bullying resources for schools

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government have ceased funding of anti-bullying resources with a specific LGBTQ focus. This should be reviewed and reinstated as a matter of urgency.
LGBTQ youth are more likely to face homelessness, depression, and suicide than their peers, with bullying contributing to this. Education is key to dismantling systems of oppression, especially for youth, so the Government should review their decision to cease funding as a matter of urgency.
