'GROWING THREAT OF ONLINE HATRED TOWARDS WOMEN' SAYS MINISTER
Misogyny tackled 'as extremist ideology'

HOME Office minister Jess Phillips has said misogyny will be treated as "any other extremist ideology", as the Government pledges to fill in "gaps" in countering radicalisation.

As part of their strategy for tackling violence against women and girls, Labour have previously announced plans to create a new perpetrator programme to target the 1,000 most dangerous abusers and sex offenders.

The police would be required to "relentlessly pursue" perpetrators who posed a risk to women, using counter-terror-style data analysis and tactics to get repeat serious offenders off the streets, with the aim of increasing women's safety.
