Over the weekend, United Airlines refused to let two 10 year-old girls board a flight because they were “not dressed” according to company policy.

For United, this means leggings.

After facing backlash on Twitter about the perceived sexist double standard, the airline explained that the children were “not in compliance with our dress code policy for company benefit travel.”

Is the mega-airline in the business of policing the dress of women and girls? Sign the petition and demand that United review their antiquated dress policy and provide transparency about attire for employees and families on flights.

Negative reactions to the viral story forced United to make additional statements, with the final release assuring customers that, “your leggings are welcome.” United, if leggings are fine for the general public, why punish relatives or friends of employees, specifically women and girls? The corporation is still standing by its tone-deaf decision, but  we can help United Airlines reconsider its harmful rule.

Tell the airline to change its tune. Sign the petition and ask United Airlines to please consider how this policy impacts its personnel and the inherent sexism that it displays, now.
