Hate crime legislation must be amended “urgently” to cover women, the Scottish Labour leader has said.
Anas Sarwar also made a direct appeal to men to do more to tackle the “hatred and misogyny and violence” that too many women face.
Mr Sarwar, a prominent campaigner against Islamophobia, said the “stark reality” was that abuse and violence towards women was a bigger issue.
