Australian girl wins right to wear trousers to school

An Australian mum campaigned for her daughter to wear pants to schoo
An Australian schoolgirl has won the right to wear trousers to her Catholic school in Melbourne.
Asha, 6, used to ask her mum "why she couldn't wear pants like the boys," so it would be easier for her to run and climb.
Her mother Simone Cariss asked the school to let Asha wear trousers, but after they declined, she started a Change.org petition called #GirlsWearPantsToo.

Her petition calls for uniform gender equality in schools to be legislated. It now has more than 15,000 signatures and a hashtag that's being used to show support on social media.
