What the petition asks
The UK Government has quietly removed women's reproductive rights from the Statement on freedom of religion or belief and gender equality. Please reinstate reproductive health and rights as a commitment in this statement, to be protected and upheld.
Women's rights are slowly being degraded globally.
Women's rights, including the right to choose, are the bedrock of an advanced society and economy. We do not stand for any reduction in the UK's commitment to protect these rights. This is a pivotal moment in history in which we must stand firm in the protection of this freedom.
