Women Beyond Walls
Over 741,000 women are in prison worldwide. The rate of women’s incarceration is growing at a faster rate than that of men’s.
Women Beyond Walls is a movement-building platform, amplifying voices to end the over-incarceration and over-criminalisation of women worldwide. This newsletter is a tool to support our mission to bring together women with lived experience of incarceration, lawyers, activists, academics, philanthropists, criminal justice professionals, feminists and allies. Women Beyond Walls aims to create space for people new to this issue as well as people who have ideas and experience to share. Our full platform will launch soon, but in the meantime enjoy our new podcast and other resources and join the conversation on social media.
The Women Beyond Walls podcast
The Women Beyond Walls podcast aims to take you beyond tired prison stereotypes to listen to real-life stories from incredible individuals – women with lived experience of the justice system, feminist lawyers, activists and experts – all committed to seeing an end to the over-incarceration and over-criminalisation of women worldwide. Our Iinaugural season was edited by Hueman Group Media, a podcast company for social change and impact.
