Major victory for women's rights in Quebec!

The Minister of Public Security, François Bonnardel, has just ended the self-determination of 'gender' in the prison environment: men will no longer be transferred to women's prisons simply by identifying as such.

Mr. Minister of Justice,The Quebec feminist network wishes to express its deep concern following the recent ruling by the Court of Quebec regarding multiparenthood.We respectfully ask you to appeal this ruling. We believe that such a judicial decision goes far beyond a mere adjustment of family law: it actually opens the door to the implicit recognition of polygamous practices in Quebec, which are criminalized in Canada under section 293 of the Criminal Code precisely because of their recognized effects on women and children.This ruling, which allows a child to have more than two legal parents, raises fundamental issues both in terms of children's rights and the social model we wish to pass on.
