UK Home Office to Review Counter-Extremism Strategy Including Misogyny

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper aims to address gaps in tackling ideological threats, including far-right and Islamist extremism, and online misogyny.

The review will assess the rise of extremism both online and on UK streets, following recent riots and increased radicalization among youth.
Critics argue that existing laws should be enforced rather than creating new ones, warning of potential threats to free speech.
The review will investigate the influence of social media and figures like Andrew Tate in spreading extremist ideologies.
Violence against women and girls has surged, with a 37% increase in four years and over a million recorded violent crimes annually.
The strategy aims to produce actionable insights to disrupt and divert people from extremist views and enhance current policies.
