Proceeding contribution from Sarah Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 February 2022. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill.

Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill

I understand what the hon. Member is saying, but as my hon. Friend the Member for Walthamstow (Stella Creasy) said, there is a carve-out clause particularly designed to satisfy that concern. I believe that distinguishing between serious sexual violence crimes and other forms of crime that may be enacted with a misogynistic intent would solve that problem.

These kinds of misogynistic attitudes and this kind of behaviour are more widespread in society than we care to think. We must be absolutely intolerant of it, and the hate law speaks to that. Such attitudes erode the very fabric of society and we should collectively reject them.
