Britain considers violence against women as terrorism: To stop the increasing violence against women in Britain, the government there is now preparing to bring strict laws. According to the new proposed law, violence against women will now be considered terrorism and punishment will be given accordingly. This is going to be the first such law in Britain.
UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said, 'Existing laws are being reviewed to identify the shortcomings in addressing the increasing cases of violence against women and girls. At the same time, efforts are also being made to know under which ideology violence is taking place against women. The government is failing to stop the increasing crimes against women online and on the streets. This is damaging our social fabric. According to the new proposed law, school teachers will also have to tell who is in the school. Those who have hateful views against women.'
The UK Police Chief recently said that violence against women and girls has increased significantly in the country. The police is considering it a terrorist threat. According to a report prepared by the 'National Police Chiefs Council' and the 'College of Policing', the British police registered more than one million cases of violent crime against women and girls between 2022 and 2023. Which is one-fifth of the total crime.
