We provide specialist support in prison and the community, tailored to women’s needs to help them rebuild their lives.

Rooted in feminist values and with women’s lived experience at the heart of our work, we campaign for radical change and community-based alternatives that address the root causes of offending, so fewer women are harmed by the criminal justice system.
