ne Manitoba lawyer can, in fact

ite many more examples in which
women are treated unfairly by the legal

author of the recently published
report, Gender Equality in the Courts
“We have to start treating (offences
against women and children) as crimes
and the only way to do that is with jail
sentences.

FINDS DISCIMINATION

Brown's report, prepared for the
Manitoba caucus of the National
Association of Women and ‘the Law,
found widespread discrimination in
treatment not only of female plaintiffs
and witnesses, but also women

It recommends ‘national education
