RESCHEDULED: Coventry Report Launch: Funding for the Women’s Sector
Join the Women’s Budget Group and the Coventry Women’s Partnership as we launch our newest report on the status of the funding for the women’s sector.
Report
This report calls on the government to reduce the number of women in prison through investing in women's centres.
Women’s Centres are specialist community-based support services for women facing multiple disadvantages, including women involved in or at risk of involvement in the criminal justice system.
The report, The Case for Sustainable Funding for Women’s Centres highlights the staggering savings that can be made by investing in Women’s Centres, the financial cost of the current model and its failure to address the root causes of women’s offending, leading to a ‘revolving door’ of imprisonment.
The report was written by Women’s Budget Group and in collaboration with Women in Prison, Brighton Women’s Centre, Anawim – Birmingham’s Centre for Women, The Nelson Trust and Together Women.
The report calls on the government to deliver the objectives of the Government’s Female Offender Strategy by reducing the number of women in prison through investing in Women’s Centres.
