Abstract
- The article reports on the decision of the British Columbia Court of Appeals regarding the right to women-only policy. The British Columbia Court of Appeals had ruled out that the Vancouver Rape Relief and Women's Shelter (VRR) has the right to accept only women to volunteer to counsel women. The ruling overturned a previous judgment by the Human Rights Tribunal that VRR could not discriminate Kimberly Nixon as a volunteer. Nixon is the transsexual-complainant in a case against VRR.
