On September 18th, 2021, Canada held a cross nation protest due to practices birthed from Bill C-16; an amendment to the Canadian Human Rights Act that effectively replaces gender identity with biological sex. Specifically, we were protesting the rights of men to identify their way into women’s prisons.
Canadian WLRN member, April Neault, attended the protest in Canada’s capital, Ottawa, Ontario. In this video, WLRN shares the speeches given at two of the locations on the day of protests.
Please make sure to check out the other video of Canada’s day of protest wherein survivors of Canada’s incarcerated system voice their concerns and share their stories.
