Trans-identified males are shockingly over-represented in NZ prison statistics… and 14% of these men are placed in women’s prisons!
The presence of trans-identifying males, who offend at rates far higher than women, poses a risk to the safety, dignity, and well-being of female prisoners.
It compromises the integrity of single-sex spaces designed for women and ignores the reality of male-pattern offending.
14% of trans-identifying males in women's prisons is 100% too many
SUFW called on the Minister of Corrections to disestablish the practice of housing trans-identifying males in female facilities immediately.
