WFEA’s Roundtable Discussion on Women’s safe spaces…is enough being done to protect women and girls?

FILE - A sticker that reads, "Keep Locker Rooms Safe," is worn by a person supporting a bill that would eliminate Washington's rule allowing transgender people use gender-segregated bathrooms and locker rooms in public buildings consistent with their gender identity, on Jan. 27, 2016, at the Capitol in Olympia, Wash. On Tuesday, March 21, 2023, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed a law prohibiting transgender people at public schools from using the restroom that matches their gender identity. Arkansas' law applies to multi-person restrooms and locker rooms at public schools and charter schools serving prekindergarten through 12th grade. Photo: Associated Press/AP Photo/Ted S. Warren
