DUP Stalls Transgender Hate Crime Protection in NI
Update: 2025-12-14
Description
Northern Irelands Justice Minister, Naomi Long, is pushing for transgender people to be included as a protected group in new hate crime legislation, but faces resistance from the Democratic Unionist Party. Despite support from other parties, the DUPs lack of engagement is seen as a roadblock to progress. With nearly one hundred reported hate crimes related to transgender identity in the past year, Long emphasizes the need to modernize laws and provide greater protections for all victims.
