Women's Challenges

"Women in the criminal justice system often face trauma, abuse, and disadvantage, with many being primary caregivers. Maternal incarceration impacts around 17,000 children annually, increasing their risk of future adversity. Addressing women's needs is key to breaking trauma cycles and promoting family stability for long-term outcomes."

Imprisonment Rates

"The UK has one of the highest female imprisonment rates in Western Europe, with women comprising only 4% of the prison population. Of these, 72% are in custody for non-violent offences, often serving sentences of less than 12 months. Such short sentences disrupt families and limit rehabilitation, highlighting the need for community-based."
