Stop the statue of a Woman wearing an hijab being erected.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

It is racist and offensive to all other women. Not all Muslim women wear the hijab neither do White or Black women
I want to know who agreed this insult to all other women could be commissioned and who is paying for it from the Bankrupt Birmingham City Council
This is a racist and divisive and it should not be allowed
As a White British Woman I feel extremely offended by this Act of Divisive intent

Why it was rejected

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about local statues are a matter for local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
