Campaigners on violence against women who have been galvanised by the strength of feeling around the killing of Sarah Everard are highlighting a number of amendments to the domestic abuse bill that is passing through the House of Lords.
What amendments are peers voting on in the Lords on Monday?
Peers have made a number of amendments to the bill that tackle violence against women and misogyny. If they pass, the bill could return to the Commons to be considered by MPs.
Two key measures that campaigners have backed included:
Making misogyny a hate crime, which would give tougher sentencing where misogyny is a factor as well as allowing police to keep better data on what crimes have misogyny as an aggravating factor.

A group of five young women from Rochdale are leading the charge for change in their community, thanks to the skills they’ve gained through the Youth Co-operative Action Programme.
The Rochdale branch of the project, delivered by the Co-operative College in partnership with Greater Manchester Youth Network, has seen all those taking part identify child poverty as an issue in their community that resonated with them.
Working together, the young women, many of whom study in Rochdale at Falinge Park High School and are aged between 12 and 17, created a celebration event online inviting members of the public along to learn more about child poverty.
