Seminar Description:

Rights and Wrongs: Women Offenders in the Criminal Justice System is a public meeting organised by Labour Women's Declaration Scotland to mark International Women's Day.

What are the issues facing women offenders in the criminal justice system? How does a system designed for men support women? How do women end up caught up in the criminal justice system?

We want to see a criminal justice system which can better support women within it and prevent more women being caught up in it. Come along to join in the discussion
