Women’s voices

For many years, the insights of people with lived experience of the criminal justice system have been at the heart of PRT’s work.

Throughout the Transforming Lives programme, we worked with partner organisations to provide a platform for the voices of women with lived experience of the criminal justice system.

In April 2019 we convened a Women’s Summit in London, bringing together ministers, senior police representatives, government officials, women’s services and women with experience of the criminal justice system. Read our press release here, and the Twitter roundup of the event here.

Over 150 women engaged, as well as children with experience of maternal imprisonment. Their comments and stories are included in our publications and form an essential part of our advocacy.
