At SHEWISE, we believe in the power of collaboration to drive meaningful change. That’s why we’re proud to support NWJC’s open letter to the Government, which maps out a bold vision for the establishment of a Women’s Justice Board (WJB).
The WJB is a long-overdue initiative that seeks to address the unique needs of women within the justice system. It emphasizes the importance of tailored solutions that account for women’s experiences, challenges, and potential for rehabilitation and growth.
Why This Matters
The justice system often fails to provide the equity and support that women deserve. Many women in the system have faced trauma, abuse, and systemic inequalities. The WJB would focus on transforming how justice is approached, ensuring that it empowers rather than punishes.
What’s Next?
With the first meeting of the WJB expected to convene as early as next week, it’s crucial to amplify the messaging around the open letter. By bringing attention to the NWJC’s vision and the voices behind it, we can ensure the Government prioritizes this issue.
