Scottish Greens Push for Misogyny Bill

0:00From across Europe, powered by AI, this is Europe News Today. I'm Cory with the story. The Scottish Greens are pushing hard for a new misogyny and criminal justice bill in the next Scottish Parliament, aiming to make misogyny a, standalone criminal offense under Scott's law. They slammed the SNP for dropping their own plans last year, choosing instead to tweak the Hate Crime Act to cover sex-based hate, citing a supreme. Court ruling on women's definitions and tight timelines before May's election co-leader Gillian McCoy, called violence against women, a national emergency, blasting the lack of urgency and pointing to global rises and misogyny, fueled by figures like Donald Trump, far-right groups, and toxic social media. The Greens manifesto also pledges funding for violence prevention in schools, councils, and communities to protect women and girls from harassment, both online and off. Meanwhile, a SNP candidate, Ciobe and Brown, insists their manifesto commits to a misogyny bill too, promising real protections.
