A Canadian women’s rights group has filed a court request asking for the right to pursue legal action on the constitutionality of placing biological men in women’s prisons.

The motion for hearing the legal challenge was filed by the Canadian Women’s Sex-Based Rights (CAWSBAR) group on Dec. 5. It argues that placing biological males in federal women’s correctional facilities violates the Charter rights of the women incarcerated in those facilities.
