Women in politics and cyber abuse in the United Kingdom
Labour's Diane Abbott, the SNP's Hannah Bardell and former Liberal Democrat minister Jo Swinson have revealed the levels of online abuse they received as Members of Parliament.
BBC Radio 5 live approached current and former female MPs and asked whether they had faced abusive comments or threats on the internet.
Not every MP responded: some said they did not answer surveys; one said it was not something she had ever experienced; some asked to be kept anonymous and told us they did not want to make it an issue. However, many said they routinely faced abuse.
