Introduce Female Equality to the curriculum

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

to introduce female equality and female rights into the British and Northern Ireland curriculum

female rights and feminism are a very important for young girls in the society today. They need to be able to feel that they can stand up for themselves without being called rude things(named) for doing the right thing. Individuals who act on this could change the world for young girls and women today.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

The curriculum for Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education already requires schools to teach students the legal rights and responsibilities regarding equality and that everyone is unique and equal.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to require that feminism be taught as part of the national curriculum, if that's something you'd like to happen, although the UK Government is only responsible for the national curriculum in England. The national curriculums for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are set by the Scottish Government, Welsh Government and Northern Ireland Executive.
