On Saturday, women gathered at Fraser Valley Institution, a prison in Abbotsford, BC, to protest the housing of men in women’s prisons. Since Bill C-16 passed in Canada, males who identify as transgender have been permitted to transfer to female prisons. Yet the Liberal government won’t address women's concerns about this. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Heather Mason, a founding member of Canadian Women’s sex based rights (CaWsbar) and a former prisoner herself, as well as Alia Pierini, who spoke at the event and is also a former prisoner, as well as an advocate for women in prison and a member of Strength in Sisterhood (SIS) about their work and what these "inclusion" policies mean for women in prison.
