What the petition asks
Business cannot sack Muslims women or girls from wearing head scarfs if they work face to face with customers.
As it is racial discrimination
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
Religious discrimination, such as preventing people from wearing religious symbols, unless there is a legitimate reason to do so, can already be illegal.
