The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of making misogyny a hate crime.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

Tackling misogyny, both online and offline, is central to our mission to halve violence against women and girls (VAWG) in a decade. We will address the drivers and root causes of VAWG as part of our upcoming cross-Government Strategy, due to be published in September.
