Jane Doe Speaks at McGill on the Politics of Rape


October 14, 2008


The woman known as Jane Doe is a renowned sexual assault activist, writer and teacher. She is also the litigant who made both feminist and legal history when she sued the Toronto Police Force for negligence and gender discrimination - and won. During her precedent-setting case, she fought to hold police liable for failing to warn women of the serial rapist operating in their neighbourhood. She also linked this misconduct with wider Charter equality issues of systemic sexism and discrimination within the police force itself.
Join Jane Doe in lecture at the McGill University, Faculty of Law.
These events are co-hosted by the McGill Faculty of Law's Women's Caucus, SACOMSS and the Annie MacDonald Langstaff Workshop Series.

Time: 16: 30 - 18:00
Venue: Moot Court, New Chancellor Day Hall, McGill University
Location: 3644 Peel Street Montreal, QC
Categories: Women
