Motion Text
That this House welcomes the Fawcett Society's review of sex discrimination law in the UK, and its recommendations to make misogyny a hate crime; acknowledges the level of concern in broader society at gender inequality; recognises the insufficient tackling of hate crimes against women; and calls for police authorities to treat hate crime motivated hostility on the basis of gender as an aggravated offence.
