The collective of Vancouver Rape Relief and Women’s Shelter has faced waves of harsh backlash through the years. Lee’s bold leadership and commitment to the collective, its feminist principles and practices, including women-only organizing, have been crucial to our survival and thriving.
In this episode we talk with Kyungjin Oh from the Korea Women's Associations United (KWAU) about women's oppression and feminist resistance in South Korea.
We urge the committee to call on Canada to denounce and condemn any attempt to intimidate, threat, attack, silence and boycott women’s groups and individual women for speaking up on the unique experience and needs of female born women and girls and remind Canada that the “Attempts to silence women based on the views they hold regarding the scope of gender identity and sex in law and in practice and the rights associated with these, severely affects their participation in society in dignity and in safety, as well as their country’s prosperity and development.”
