The Government should make misogyny a hate crime by amending the Sentencing Act, introduce tougher laws for online abuse, train police and prosecutors, funding support for survivors in education, and tackle anti-feminist hate groups that target and radicalise young people online.

Young women, especially students, face high rates of harassment, assault, and online abuse. Misogyny fuels this violence, yet current laws fail to address it directly. Recognising misogyny as a hate crime would protect victims, deter offenders, and send a clear message that gender-based hostility is unacceptable. It would also validate survivors’ experiences and help create safer environments in education and online, where young people are most vulnerable.
