The UK government under its new plans to combat radicalisation will treat extreme misogyny as terrorism, according to multiple media reports.


The Labour government intends to tackle violence against women and girls in the same way as "Islamist and far-Right extremism". Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, has ordered a review of the counter-terrorism strategy to address the issue as the current guidance might be too narrow in its outlook.

For too long, governments have failed to address the rise in extremism, both online and on our streets, and we’ve seen the number of young people radicalised online grow. Hateful incitement of all kinds fractures and frays the very fabric of our communities and our democracy,” Cooper was quoted as saying by The Telegraph.
