Petition submission by Equal Parenting Party (EPP)

on 2 October 2000

During 2000, the EPP had organised this petition, which culminated on 2 October 2000, the day the Human Rights Act 1998 came into force, with its submission at 10 Downing Street. The submission was supported by other groups.

We met at the Royal Courts of (In)Justice, then further gathered in Trafalgar Square, before the march to Downing Street.
