We work to implement gender-specific responses for women in the justice system
Women in our justice system often have different and more complex needs than men. We work to implement gender-specific responses for women in the justice system, especially around violence against women and girls. This includes support practitioners to deliver gender-responsive interventions and victim services, trauma-informed practice and ensuring policy change recognises the distinct needs of women and girls.
This research brings together women’s perspectives on effective substance use treatment and support, identifying six key characteristics of effective treatment and providing recommendations for central government, local authorities and service providers.
