Make all gyms have a female section where women can work out comfortably

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Enforce all gyms in the UK to have a section just for women to be able to work out. Not to separate them but a space that is there as an option
Sometimes us females go to the gym and feel uncomfortable with lots of men making comments or constantly watching us workout and feel uncomfortable. Also for women who are abit insecure about their bodies and often deal with a lot of body shaming in the gym whilst they’re there trying to better their body and health.

Why it was rejected

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

Decisions about how services provided by gyms is a matter for individual gyms, not the Government or House of Commons.
