Star Observer/David Alexander — January 19, 2016

"A RALLY in Brisbane this week aims to raise awareness around the high rates of incarceration experienced among the trans community and the lack of representation and support available to trans prisoners.

Organised by the Trans Prisoner Allies collective, the rally also aims to highlight the higher risks of incarceration and abuse suffered by trans people while in prison compared to other demographic groups."
