Example MP letter: support in making misogyny a hate crime.

 Dear <<MP name>>


My name is << insert name here>> and I’m writing to you today to ask for your support in making misogyny a hate crime. Specifically, I urge you to consider the Law Commission, and show your commitment to this vitally important step in requiring police to categorise offences motivated by misogyny as a hate crime - cementing the important link between domestic abuse and misogyny.  


<<You can include your personal experiences here, and why the amendment is important for you>>


Misogyny has a devastating impact on women and girls. It is a root cause of multiple forms of abuse, violence and intimidation that can damage all aspects of women's lives, from their professional careers to personal wellbeing. It can ultimately prevent the full participation of women in our society. 


Women and girls need to feel their concerns are being taken seriously by the police and that misogyny is not normalised. This amendment will pave the way for further interrogation of the influence of misogyny on incidences of domestic abuse and the nature of violence against women. It will lead to an increase in data gathering, provide a greater understanding of women’s experiences of violence, and ultimately inform the need to stamp out misogyny and violence. 


Ensuring that all women everywhere can lead fulfilled and dignified lives in complete safety is vital. I urge you to to back making misogyny a hate crime .


I look forward to receiving your response and hope to hear more about your views on this issue and voting intention.


Yours sincerely,
