Campaigning for
a fairer justice system
Women who have experienced the justice system are often marginalised and unheard, victims of abuse long before they are offenders. Their imprisonment is often tied to acts of survival, driven by economic hardship or coercion from an abusive partner. We believe that a just society must reduce the number of women in prison and end the generational damage to children caused by maternal imprisonment.
