Our updated misogyny motion for NI councils

“This Council recognises the impact of misogyny and transmisogyny on those affected by it, as well as the role these attitudes play in a variety of crimes, including harassment, assault, sexual assault and hate crimes, and on the career choices and personal lives of women, girls and non-binary people. 

The Council recognises that the Hate Crime Review by Judge Desmond Marrinan included the recommendation that gender be recognised as a category of hate crime, and that the Review also acknowledged the prevalence of, and damages caused by, misogyny.  

The Council supports also the Raise Your Voice Project, which tackles sexual harassment and sexual violence across Northern Ireland, by placing posters in all Council properties to raise awareness of the project and by making the Raise Your Voice workshops available to Council staff and Councillors."
