Make sexism a hate crime across the UK and in all institutions

What the petition asks
Sexism is not yet legally a hate crime which is making court cases difficult due to no specific law dictating what counts as sexist abuse. Nottingham is already attempting to make it a hate crime but this will not be effective until it is on a big scale.
