Description

October 31—November 1 Vancouver Eight lesbian rights policy proposals (ranging from child custody to housing and the age of consent), developed by the Rights of Lesbians Subcommittee of the British Columbia Federation of Women (BCFW), were presented for adoption at the second annual convention of the BCFW, held at Capilano College. One proposal rejecting the abolition of age-of-consent laws, arguing that such a move would worsen the sexual exploitation of young women, was particularly controversial in that it opposed the stand taken by the NGRC/CNDH.
