She is also the\nlitigant who made both feminis t and legal history when she sued the\nToronto Police Force for negligence and gender discrimination – and\nwon.\nDuring her precedent-setting case\ , she fought to hold police\nliable for failing to warn women of the seria l rapist operating in\ntheir neighbourhood. She also linked this misconduc t with wider\nCharter equality issues of systemic sexism and discriminatio n\nwithin the police force itself.\nThroughout her legal battle\, Jane Doe challenged myths and\nstereotypes about women and sexual assault. After l eading the\nneighbourhood postering campaign that led to the rapist's arre st\,\nshe fought to frame the trial of her rapist in her own terms.\nJane Doe was the first woman to win the right to sit in on the\npreliminary hea ring in her rapist's trial. Her 11-year civil trial\nmarked the first time the state was held liable for the way it\ninvestigates crime. Jane Doe ha s continued to speak and write about\nsocial and legal issues relating to violence against women in the\ncontext of equality and within a feminist\, anti-racist\nframework.\nChildcare services will be provided.\nCo-hosted by the 91ºÚÁÏÍø Faculty of Law's Women's Caucus\, SACOMSS\nand the Annie Mac Donald Langstaff Workshop Series (Margot E.\nHalpenny Memorial Lecture).\n DTSTART:20081014T203000Z DTEND:20081014T220000Z LOCATION:Chancellor Day Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1W9\, 3644 rue Peel SUMMARY:The Politics of Rape: Jane Doe Speaks at 91ºÚÁÏÍø URL:/channels/event/politics-rape-jane-doe-speaks-mcgi ll-102038 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
