Tougher sentencing for Misogynistic Crimes
Use the Sentencing BiIl to make provision for ensure tougher sentences for those who commit crimes motivated by misogyny (malice towards women and girls).
Why is this important?
Northern Ireland is the most dangerous place in the UK to be a woman. But now, Stormont has the opportunity to make a significant legislative change to address the violence against women and girls.
The Committee for Justice can add to the Sentencing BiIl a provision for tougher sentences for those who commit crimes motivated by misogyny (malice towards women and girls).
We call on the Committee for Justice to include tougher penalties for crimes motivated by misogyny in the Sentencing Bill today.
