Hearsay?

Joyce remained an "activist" in retirement - even though her formal links to politics had ended. In her new community, she was interested in joining a organization that brought in public speakers on a monthly basis. Its charter, on the surface, welcomed all comers, but when Joyce explored joining she was told by a member of the administration, we have to put it in our public facing image, but really, we don't allow female members. Joyce didn't take this lying down. It was clear to her that this was a breach of fundamental human rights, so she appealed this to the Human Rights Commission, which, on examining the facts, supported Joyce's position, and proceeded to take action against the organization. They backed down rather than face expensive legal fees and possible heavy fines, and Joyce became their first female member, eventually become accepted by at least most of the less chauvinistic membership. One of her proudest achievements - she told me!
