Blogs & conversations Exploring community-based approaches for women impacted by the justice system

At One Small Thing, I work to explore solutions to reduce the number of women entering prison by promoting community-based approaches. My Churchill Fellowship next year will take me to Canada, Germany, and Finland to learn how others are addressing similar challenges and inspiring policymakers to reimagine justice for women. I’m eager to connect with changemakers globally and share insights on creating a system that prioritises community over custody.

Blogs & conversations Supporting a Future Without Violence

Reflecting on the past year, I’m amazed at how quickly I’ve gone from theory to implementation. My Churchill Fellowship journey took me across the USA, where I explored the Coaching Boys into Men (CBIM) programme and saw first-hand its potential to address issues like misogyny and violence against women. Now, with a successful pilot in Northern Ireland and plans to train more community advocates, I’m thrilled to see it becoming a catalyst for change.
