Scotland could consider making misogyny a crime

Scotland could soon consider new laws around misogyny following calls from a campaign group.

The group is chaired by Baroness Helena Kennedy QC, and calls for new a new Misogyny and Criminal Justice Act, which focuses on stirring up hatred against women - as well as a specific crime around threatening sexual assault.

Last month, MPs rejected attempts to make misogyny criminal in England.
