Vivienne Hayes

'Wider society needs to wake up to the harm caused by the criminalisation of women, many of whom have experienced victimisation, harm and marginalisation. Let us stand up with and for all the mothers, sisters and daughters in prison.' 
Becky Clarke, Senior Lecturer, Manchester Metropolitan University 

'It is common sense, long overdue, and change will only happen if we mobilise and work together.' 
Jackie Russell, Director, Women's Breakout

'It is time that violence against women and girls was seen as a failure of our society and stopped. Women who, sometimes in the aftermath of abuse, offend, should be recognised as in need of help and support and not punished, when we have failed them by not intervening to stop the abuse in the first place.'
Vera Baird, Police and Crime Commissioner for Northumbria

The Women and Girls at Risk Alliance Transitional Steering Group supports this call to empower women, resist injustice and transform lives. Our vision is for all women and girls to have access to services which recognise and respond to their experiences as women, as survivors of abuse and trauma and as agents of change in their own lives and in the wider world.
