[W]e know from police trials that classifying misogyny as a hate crime — Stella Creasy

"[W]e know from police trials that classifying misogyny as a hate crime can encourage women to come forward, about domestic abuse, rape, forced marriages – there are lots of examples of how it can make a difference. All the evidence shows that this can make a difference. For comparison, there is a requirement to say if skin colour is a reason for why someone has been targeted. There are so many crimes that women have internalised. We have asked women to find ways of coping rather than asking the police to intervene and stop it."
