In this interview, WLRN’s Robin speaks with long-time member of the collective Vancouver Rape Relief and Women’s Shelter, Lee Lakeman. Since 1973, VRR has been a safe haven for victims of rape and domestic violence, and women who have escaped the sex trade. Here, Ms. Lakeman speaks about her and the collective’s herstory of feminist action, strides VRR has made, and how women can continue to work for women’s liberation in today’s political climate. WLRN thanks Lee for giving her time to speak with us, and all the members of Vancouver Rape Relief for their continued contribution and dedication to women.
