At @gculaw.bsky.social we currently have a series on the SLSA blog: Gender (in)Justice: Views from Scotland. The below our 2nd post, where I consider the Scottish Government's decision this year to 'shelve' reforms related to misogyny, and instead extend hate crime provisions to 'sex'.

Really enjoyed this discussion last night - both a great insight into impressive work being done but also a rare space to allow nuanced and realistic conversations about what needs to be actioned in the long-term to counter the rise in misogyny
Great turnout for our event where we're discussing the impact of online misogyny and how we can tackle it!
