Women’s Forum Australia is calling on political leaders across the country to follow the Northern Territory’s (NT) lead in banning transgender inmates from women’s prisons.

This comes after NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro, from the Country Liberal Party, announced she would ban transgender inmates who identify as women from being housed in women’s prisons.
