Why this petition matters

Started by V V Brown

In an age where women are being raped and killed in the streets I find it incredibly disturbing that a national newspaper would feel brave enough to print such abusive, vile words. This was written in the Sun Newspaper by TV personality Jeremy Clarkson. 

Whatever your thoughts about Meghan this is an absolute a disgrace.

Newspapers have an ethical responsibility to follow the five laws of journalism. 

Truth and Accuracy. “Journalists cannot always guarantee 'truth' but getting the facts right is the cardinal principle of journalism. ...
Independence. ...

Hate speech covers many forms of expressions which advocate, incite, promote or justify hatred, violence and discrimination against a person or group of persons for a variety of reasons.

It poses grave dangers for the cohesion of a democratic society, the protection of human rights and the rule of law. If left unaddressed, it can lead to acts of violence and conflict on a wider scale. In this sense hate speech is an extreme form of intolerance which contributes to hate crime.

They have to be held accountable for language like this. I am victim of rape and online abuse and this was incredibly disturbing. 

Please sign the petition to fight against violence and abuse against women in the British media! Please sign this petition so that we can take this to government to discuss legislation surrounding misogyny and hate crimes, specifically in context of the British Media. Sign this petition for accountability for the Editor of the sun Newspaper and Jeremy Clarkson. 


Thanks !
