South Korean court recognises misogyny as hate crime motive
The Morning Standard|October 18, 2024
A South Korean court has recognised misogyny as a motive for a hate crime, its spokesperson said on Thursday, a decision activists hailed as a breakthrough for women's rights.

The ruling was made in connection to a case where a convenience store worker was attacked by a man shouting “feminists deserve to be beaten” because she had short hair. The Changwon District Court on Tuesday upheld the assailant’s three-year jail term and added a clause in its ruling that explicitly stated the crime was motivated by misogyny.
