[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill would make crimes motivated by hatred or contempt towards women (misogyny) officially recognised as hate crimes in the same way as crimes based on race or religion. It aims to give women better legal protection and send a message that misogynistic violence is taken seriously by the justice system.

Presented by Wera Hobhouse.
