Transgender People: Violence
- Question
-
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help tackle violence against the transgender community.
- Answer
-
This Government is determined to tackle all forms of hate crime, including transphobic hate crime.
Via the Crime and Policing Bill, we are delivering our manifesto commitment to treat such crimes as aggravated offences and ensure that perpetrators who carry out crimes against someone based on their transgender identity, sexual orientation or disability will spend longer behind bars. We will also deliver a full trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices.
