路易斯安那州众议院民法和程序委员会批准了第 608 号众议院法案,即《妇女安全和保护法案》,该法案要求各设施为特定性别指定卫生间和睡眠区。 Louisiana's House Committee on Civil Law and Procedure has approved House Bill 608, known as the Women's Safety and Protection Act, which would require facilities to designate bathrooms and sleeping areas for a specific sex. 该法案被比作美国各红州出现的“浴室法案”。 The bill has been likened to "bathroom bills" that have emerged in red states across the US. 支持者认为,该法案将保护女性免遭性侵犯和性骚扰,而反对者则声称,该法案针对变性人群体,并使联邦政府对庇护所的资助面临风险。 Proponents argue it will protect women from sexual assault and harassment, while opponents claim it targets the transgender community and puts federal funding for shelters at risk.
