HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISION SETTLES COMPLAINT

Released on December 19, 1996

Chief Commissioner/Director of the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission
Donna Scott today announced a settlement which compensates a woman who
wasn't allowed to compete on a men's team in the Saskatchewan Soccer
Association.

In 1994, Eileen Laverty of Saskatoon told the commission she was denied
the right to play on a men's team in the Saskatoon and District Men's
Soccer League during competition. At that time, the Saskatchewan
Soccer Association had a rule saying women could play on men's teams
only when there was not a women's team in their district. If there was
a women's team, that was the team they had to play on. Laverty told
the commission she wanted to play on a men's team because it was a
greater challenge and gave her a better opportunity to improve her
skills.

In settling the complaint, the Saskatchewan Soccer Association agreed
to pay Laverty $2,500 in compensation.

Scott said the association has now changed the provincial by-laws to
allow women to compete on men's teams.
