This is fantastic on so many levels.

If this is done right, it will expose the sheer amount of misogyny women face in this country. When it is quantified, nobody will be able to deny that women are less likely than ‘other groups’ to face oppression because there are no stats to prove it. My own MP assured me that transwomen are in more danger than women because there was no data to prove otherwise. Well, let’s put that to the test now shall we?!

Good. But I do wonder how rapes will be treated now, surely they are all hate crimes?

Thank fuck for that.

This is a relief. Again, big thanks to all those women who pushed for this.

See it just applies to England & Wales. Scotland have just rejected the amendment to include women as a protected group in their hate crime bill - I hope they reconsider

Great news

I saw this on Facebook but assumed it was some kind of fake news/joke!

I wonder when it will feed through to official guidance?
