NEW ZEALAND - WOMEN MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT THROWN OUT OF CHAMBER FOR REVEALING SEXUAL ASSAULTS


Women members of New Zealand's parliament were thrown out of the chamber Wednesday after sharing their stories of sexual assault. Earlier, Prime Minister John Key had accused opposition politicians of "backing the rapists" for raising concerns about incarcerated New Zealanders in Australia. One by one, the women parliament members rose to say that as survivors of sexual assault, they were offended by Key's remarks. The House Speaker declared their statements out of order, but they continued to rise and speak until they were ordered out of the chamber
