Monica Lennon MSP Scottish Labour, January 17, 2023
SCOTTISH LABOUR’S Monica Lennon has warned her party against complacency in the battle against misogyny in politics.
Ms Lennon, who has endured harassment and abuse both on and offline, argued that talented women are too often either discouraged from standing for office or driven out of politics by a “toxic culture.”
“Misogyny is a big problem in our society and institutional misogyny is a real issue,” she said.
