Debates on Monday have seen MPs and peers press for action to tackle violence against women and girls
The home secretary, Priti Patel, has hinted the government will consider recording misogyny as a hate crime and setting up a national register of stalkers, as MPs and peers clamoured for swift action to tackle violence against women and girls.
Both the Commons and the Lords saw numerous debates on Monday in the wake of the killing of Sarah Everard and Saturday’s vigil in her name on Clapham Common where police arrested participants.
