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.
