Gender-responsive penal reform seeks to:
» Develop responses to offending by men, women, boys and girls, including
non-custodial measures carried out in the community that consider their
different needs and characteristics
» Improve the planning and delivery of services in prisons (including
accommodation, healthcare, security and preparation for release) in a manner
that is responsive to the different needs and characteristics of men, women,
boys and girls
» Train penal staff in gender issues and human rights in policy and practice
» Strengthen complaint and oversight mechanisms within the penal system by including a gender responsive approach
» Strengthen collaboration with civil society organisations, including women’s groups, in both service and oversight functions
