Description

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
