It’s 17 years since the #Corston report talked about community options for women… In prison, not enough can be done to address the underlying causes of what leads women to prison - Dame Anne Owers

When it comes to new government proposals for women in prison - they need to do this well and do not right. The Women’s Justice Board needs to involve women with lived experience and be diverse and reflect women - Lily Blundell from Women in Prison speaks to BBC Woman's Hour Nuala McGovern

Women are held in prison are often held in prison as a place of safety for their mental health. At Women in Prison we know this isn’t a safe place for women. Self harm is so acute and so troubling we need to look at alternatives to custody. Lily Blundel, Women in Prison BBC Woman's Hour

When it comes to supporting women, and to community solutions, community organisations like Women in Prison are ready to support women. But in order for us to do that work, it needs to be funded Women in Prison ‘s Lily Blundell speaking on BBC Woman's Hour

Dame Anne Owers - women need to be a greater priority in the criminal justice system, to do this the Women’s Justice Board needs teeth to make changes. We can learn from the Youth Justice Board who have diverted young people into community alternatives Women in Prison BBC Woman's Hour

"If you're only thinking about working with women at the point at which they're sent to prison, you're starting too late. Real solutions are earlier upstream, where change needs to happen." Lucy Russell, Head of Policy & Public Affairs via BBC News (UK) bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Every woman and girl has the right to feel safe everywhere. Femicide can and must be prevented. Every country must invest in prevention, enforce laws, and combat impunity. Let's demand a world free from fear. #EndViolenceAgainstWomen UN Women Türkiye
