We welcome Shabana Mahmood MP ‘s announcement on the creation of a #WomensJusticeBoard. We know that prison tears women's lives apart & we are proud to have stood with National Women's Justice Coalition & partners calling for this vital new approach to reducing the number of women in prison.👇

Such transformative plans for a #WomensJusticeBoard must include #sustainablefunding for #womenscentres + #womensservice and ensure #womensorganisations & #expertsbyexperience have a critical, strategic role in influencing & directing the Board's remit & objectives #WomenJustice

When setting up the much needed Women’s Justice Board Shabana Mahmood MP would do well to embrace the many fantastic ‘doers’ out there such as @Anawim_BCW The Nelson Trust One Small Thing to name but a few. She needs to avoid the hand wringers and talk shop professionals.
