This petition calls on Hogwarts to introduce a Zero Tolerance Policy for Sexual Harassment. It is shocking that such policy is currently not already in place at the school, especially since there is a similar policy for violence between students. The importance of such policy cannot be stressed enough. It is unacceptable for anyone to sexually harass someone, whether it be a physical or a verbal harassment. No place should accept this but especially a place of education.
By signing this petition, the people call on Hogwarts to change their existing policy and introduce stronger punishments for anyone sexually harassing someone on their premises. It is clear that such behaviour cannot go unpunished and the fact that a Zero Tolerance Policy already is in place for violence but not this is abysmal. Sexual harassment can be as damaging to someone as violence and should under no circumstances be tolerated.
Hogwarts is a place of education and should therefore educate young people in what are socially acceptable practices. Sexually harassing someone is certainly not it. The importance for reflecting this in their teaching and internal policy is crucial. Hogwarts educates majority of the magical population of Britain, it is the first and most important ground to start on weeding out sexisim of any kind.
By signing this petition, I express support to the proposal that Hogwarts should introduce a Zero Tolerance Policy for Sexual Harassment,
