Women should not have to fear being raped by fellow prisoners

[Biologicalreality]

In response to the Karen White case, there is a petition to ask the government to review their rules on putting males in women's prisons.

If the government continue to allow this, then they will have blood on their hands. 

They already do IMO. They have let this happen because of the legal vagueness in the EA. but reading the 31oct report from parliament looks like the advise is to tighten it up so the parts around achieving a legitimate aim and enforcement of single sex services are clearer.

Bump. Although I think we know what the answer will be if it ever does get discussed in parliament (already The Speaker has refused an urgent question over it).

Incidentally you often hear (incorrectly) that Ireland has had no problems with self ID. They made exemptions for prision - you are housed according to your sex.
