WOW Women of the World Festival

WOW Women of the World Festival

Caitlin took part in a panel discussion on ‘Gender Behind Bars’ as part of the Women of the World Festival at the Royal Festival Hall.

Participants included representatives from Women in Prison, Inquest and the Centre for Criminal Appeals. The focus was on the harm of prison and how to reduce the number of women in jail. Women in Prison (which was founded by former Holloway inmate Chris Tchaikovsky) is leading a campaign called 2020 Ambition, to half the current female prison population to 2,020 or fewer by 2020.
