Summary

Own-initiative report on extending the list of EU crimes to hate speech and hate crime. The amendments address gender-based and sexist hate speech and hate crimes disproportionately affecting women and the LGBTIQ+ community, online and offline violence, victim blaming, image-based sexual abuse, and the targeting of women in the public sphere, framing equality between women and men as a core value under the Treaties and the Charter.

Plenary votes

8 roll-call votes

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
