This series consists of correspondence [Green], reference [Blue] and NDP position [Red] files.

This series comprises files under the following headings: general; child / elder abuse; clitoredectomies; December 6th; Double Disadvantage; federal programs; media & society; Panel on Violence; Rape Shield Law; provincial policies; sexism on campus; sexual assault; stalking; wife battering; and workplace issues.

All of these issues were, and remain, central social policy and legislative concerns for politicians and social activists seeking equality for women, and the protection of their persons and rights. The "December 6th" files detail Black's successful advocacy (by way of private member's bill in 1991) to memorialize the "Montreal Massacre", (the women slain by Marc Lepine at a college in Montreal in 1989), which led to the establishment of 6 December as the "National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women". Other files - clitoredectomies, Rape Shield Law, sexual assault, stalking and wife battering - have great significance in the ongoing search for women's safety and equality.
