I am a mother of a daughter and a son, and like every parent, I want my children to grow up in a society where dignity, respect, and personal boundaries matter.

Recent public controversies have sparked an important conversation about what we choose to normalize on public platforms.

This petition is not against comedy.

It is not against free speech.

It is not against creative expression.

It is a call for responsibility.

Public platforms have influence.

Stages have influence.

Creators have influence.

And with influence comes responsibility.

The concern is not about one individual, one comedian, or one incident.

The concern is whether humiliation, coercive attitudes, disrespect, body shaming, or the dismissal of personal boundaries are increasingly being treated as entertainment.

This affects everyone.

Men and women.

Boys and girls.

Because respect should never depend on gender.

As a parent, I believe our children deserve better than a culture where dignity becomes a punchline and harmful behaviour becomes content.

We respectfully call for:

• Age-appropriate education on consent, healthy relationships, personal boundaries, and mutual respect for all genders.

• Greater responsibility from hosts, producers, event organisers, and platform owners when harmful behaviour is promoted or normalised.

• Awareness campaigns promoting respect, dignity, consent, and healthy relationships.

• Clear and accessible ways for citizens to report content that appears to glorify harassment, coercion, humiliation, or abuse.

• Recognition that freedom of expression and public responsibility should coexist.

This petition is not about censorship.

It is about accountability.

It is not about banning comedy.

It is about encouraging responsibility.

Respect should never become a punchline.

And influence should never be separated from responsibility.
