Make misogyny a hate crime.

What the petition asks

Make it a hate crime for a person to be hateful and prejudiced towards women before we lose more lives.
We think this would help make young women feel safe to go to school and to work and to walk the street alone in the dark as nobody should feel unable to do so. We think social media and society play a great role in misogynistic behaviour, with some people able to post hateful videos about women without punishment.
