What the petition asks
The Prime Minister has ruled out making misogyny a hate crime. Make misogyny a hate crime and protect women from male violence that continues to happen. This behaviour needs to be taken seriously.
Women need to know the government is taking male violence against women seriously. Misogyny needs to be taken seriously by the government and legal system. Misogyny needs to be made a hate crime in the legal system to protect women. Make misogyny a hate crime like racism and homophobia is. All types of violence against women should be taken seriously.
