Plans are creeping in at some schools that will force girls to wear trousers – a blanket ban on skirts and pinafores altogether! 

School children should not be forced to wear trousers as part of their school uniform but rather given the option! 

Every child deserves the right to feel comfortable, confident, and respected at school. We're calling on schools across Wigan Borough to respect our young girls' human rights by allowing them the freedom to choose whether they wear trousers or skirts as part of their school uniform.

In a modern and inclusive British culture that values equality and individual dignity, no student should be forced into clothing that makes them feel uncomfortable or self-conscious, especially during the sensitive years of puberty and personal development.

Allowing this simple choice supports gender equality, promotes body autonomy, and reflects the values we strive to instil in our next generation.

Please support, share, and sign this petition to stand with young girls across Wigan Borough. Let’s ensure our schools reflect the inclusive and respectful society we all believe in.
