<br /> <br /> TOWN OF LEXINGTON HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES <br />Thursday, June 29, 2022, Special Meeting <br />Conducted by Remote Participation <br /> <br />LHRC MEMBERS PRESENT <br />Tanya Gisolfi, Chairperson (TG) <br />Mona D. Roy, Vice-Chair (MDR) <br />Christina Lin, Clerk (CL) <br />Stephanie Hsu (SH) <br />Cleveland Coates (CC) <br />Lexington Public School District - Larry Freeman (LF) <br />Town of Lexington, Police - Colleen Dunbar (CD) <br /> <br />The minutes were taken by Christina Lin, LHRC Clerk <br /> • Meeting Called to order and welcome at 10:00 A.M. Quorum was present <br />• Proclamation for Women's Rights are Human Rights - Committee members were <br />mostly in support of the draft presented to them. A couple of points were raised for <br />discussion. One around whether and how to include non-binary people (trans-men) <br />who could become pregnant into the proclamation. By the title of the proclamation, it <br />is about women's rights and therefore it was not clear to all committee members <br />whether trans-men who identify as men but still could become pregnant should be <br />included in the proclamation. Of concern was that transmen could be raped and <br />become pregnant and therefore the rights to and access to reproductive care should <br />also be covered under this proclamation. <br /> <br />CL motioned to approve The Resolution of the Lexington Human Rights <br />Committee Declaring that Women's Rights are Human Rights pending any non- <br />substantive changes. Approved by unanimous vote. <br /> <br />Next Meeting September, 2022 <br /> <br />1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br />
