Misogyny as a Hate Crime — [Sir David Crausby in the Chair] ( 7 Mar 2018)

Melanie Onn: I thank the Minister for her very detailed and considered response. I genuinely urge her to take the points I have made seriously; they were made in good faith. I was determined to ensure that this debate would not be trivialised or minimised, and I tried as much as possible not to make it about us, because the issues that affect so many women in all our constituencies on a regular...

Misogyny as a Hate Crime — [Sir David Crausby in the Chair] ( 7 Mar 2018)

Melanie Onn: I entirely support what the Minister is saying, and I feel strongly that men have a critical role in setting a positive example for young men who are growing up. I went running with my son, and someone in a van decided to beep as they drove past and shout something out of the window. My son was confused by that, and wanted to know what it was all about. I did not know where to start—I do...

Misogyny as a Hate Crime — [Sir David Crausby in the Chair] ( 7 Mar 2018)

Melanie Onn: Rather than considering the barriers, I strongly request that the route to overcoming potential obstacles requires the intent of securing misogyny as an extension to the categorisations as its ultimate aim. Although issues may present themselves, I am sure the Minister has flexed her intellectual muscles on more complex issues than this, and I hope she will apply similar rigour to achieving...

Misogyny as a Hate Crime — [Sir David Crausby in the Chair] ( 7 Mar 2018)

Misogyny as a Hate Crime — [Sir David Crausby in the Chair] ( 7 Mar 2018)

Melanie Onn: I beg to move, That this House has considered misogyny as a hate crime. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir David, in a debate on an issue that has been hotly discussed over the past couple of days. This debate is particularly timely, given that tomorrow is International Women’s Day. I pay tribute to the excellent work undertaken by the all-party parliamentary group on...

Misogyny as a Hate Crime — [Sir David Crausby in the Chair] ( 7 Mar 2018)

Melanie Onn: I am terribly sorry that the hon. Gentleman is not going to stay for the entirety of the debate. He regularly contributes to debates on this topic, but rarely stays around for the responses. If he wants to raise the issue of misandry, he is perfectly able to do so. To date, he has not. He has every opportunity, as everybody in the House does, to pursue that. It does not form part of my...

Misogyny as a Hate Crime — [Sir David Crausby in the Chair] ( 7 Mar 2018)

Melanie Onn: It is welcome to hear that it has been a success. The police more widely do not seem to object to the extension of the definition of hate crime. The police are looking to the Government to support them in that action and to ensure that appropriate sentencing facilities are available to support any action they might take. Contrary to media hype, there was not a surge of reports complaining of...

Misogyny as a Hate Crime — [Sir David Crausby in the Chair] ( 7 Mar 2018)

Melanie Onn: My hon. Friend makes an excellent point that is hard to disagree with. Some responses that I have received over the last few days have not shown men in their best light, which is incredibly unfortunate, because all the men in my life accept that any actions or behaviours that put women in an uncomfortable position or make them feel unsafe or not secure in their environment are not...

Misogyny as a Hate Crime — [Sir David Crausby in the Chair] ( 7 Mar 2018)

Melanie Onn: If the individual to whom the comments were directed felt that they wished to report that, it would fall within the scope of today’s discussion. Those sorts of comment are unnecessarily aggressive and there is no place for them, certainly not in the nature of political debate and discourse, but that has been explored extensively and more directly with the individuals concerned, who...

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: Conditions of Service ( 5 Mar 2018)

Melanie Onn: On the conditions of service, it is also right that servicemen and women who become unfit for duty should have a system that supports them that is fit for purpose. We know that currently, it is not. The Minister said that his Department would publish a response to the February 2017 review of the armed forces compensation scheme a year after publication. Where is it?
