Women’s centres & specialist orgs will be needed more than ever when 1700 people are released early to elevate pressure on prison places. Additional, sustainable funding will be vital to enable orgs to meet the increase in demand for support #funding ➡️

Despite widespread recognition and evidence demonstrating the value of women’s centres, women’s services are consistently underfunded. This leads to inadequate,

We support our partner @AdvanceCharity's new campaign #NotGoingBacktoSchool that highlights the disproportionate impact of truancy prosecutions on women & calls for the decriminalisation of truancy + more support for families facing multiple disadvantages. Pls support + share🙏
Over 18,000 convictions for truancy were recorded in 2023. 70% were against women. Will you sign our open letter and ask the Government to end this injustice? 👉✉️ https://t.co/ieH0e5hkJx

An inspiring film by @CausewayCharity that tells Sabrina's story & aims to increase awareness + understanding about criminal exploitation and shines a light on how it can affect women and girls
As a child, Sabrina was exploited by a family member, then groomed by a boyfriend as a teen, and forced into county lines. She is now determined to create the change needed so others don’t experience the same. Please support our campaign: https://t.co/PAvVEFjlDr

Prisons are not safe spaces for women – and many of the inmates should not be there in the first place. It’s time for a radical rethink

We know women's orgs have been undervalued & underfunded to crisis point with many forced to suspend services, loose staff + close centres. So it's now vital UK Gov now commits equitable sustainable funding to the women's sector as a matter of urgency https://t.co/mNy6NtSISr

2/2 Through its spending review & strategic approach, the Gov must continue to recognise the value that properly funded women's organisations & specialist services represent and commit to embedding accessible and sustainable funding structures as a priority! #WomensCentresWork

1/1 Without immediate additional funding, #womenscentres #womensservices will not be able to meet the increased demand for their services so women will be left without support, reoffending + recalls will increase & well meaning reforms will be doomed to fail #sustainablefunding
