<p>There are no plans to classify misogyny as a hate crime.</p><p>The Law Commission
has been clear that making misogyny a hate crime could make the prosecution of sexual
offences more difficult and hinder efforts to tackle hate crime more broadly. Rape
Crisis, the largest sexual violence support organisation in England and Wales, has
also been clear that it does not support adding sex/gender to hate crime legislation.</p><p>Alternative
options to criminalise misogyny were also found to have little material impact and
would not address the most harmful crimes affecting women and girls.</p>
