New Delhi: While India grapples with extreme cases of violence against women, with four cases of rape every hour, the UK government is planning to treat extreme misogyny as a form of terrorism, the Telegraph reported.
To tackle growing incidents of violence against women and girls, UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has ordered a review of the counter-terrorism strategy which will help identify gaps in current laws and also study emerging ideologies, especially online misogynistic discourse.
This move will look at violence against women in the same way as far-right extremism.
Under the suggested legislation, it would be mandatory for school teachers to refer students they suspect of extreme misogyny to the government’s counter-terror programme.
