Closed petition Make misogyny and sexism a hate crime

Make misogyny and sexism as serious a crime as racism and homophobia in the eyes of the law.

More details

Sexism is rife in the country and for some reason we treat it as a second class offence compared to homophobia and racism. All these types of discrimination are obviously abhorrent but we do not treat them this way. We need people to understand that sexism is just as damaging as any other form of discrimination but why would people believe that if the law doesn’t even recognise that fact?
