Raise awareness of discrimination against those of all faiths & investigate

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

November is Islamophobia awareness month. However I am of Indian Hindu background. Why don't we have hinduphobia, sikhphobia, buddhistphobia christianphobia awareness months? This needs a parliamentary debate because it is sheer discrimination. It favours one faith over the others.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about the Government's work to raise awareness of and prevent discrimination against people of all faiths, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

The Government isn't responsible for Islamophobia Awareness Month, but we could accept a petition calling on the Government to take action to raise awareness of and prevent discrimination against people of all faiths, you'd just need to be clear what action you want the Government to take.

We have previously opened a petition calling on the Government to appoint government advisers and Anti-Hatred Working Groups for all faiths, which you can view here: Appoint government advisers and Anti-Hatred Working Groups for all faiths
