Safe Homes for Women Leaving Prison heads to parliament

Last week, as a part of our ongoing work for the Safe Homes for Women Leaving Prison initiative, we organised a virtual parliamentary ‘drop-in’ event which was attended by over 50 parliamentarians to draw attention to the crisis of up to 6 in 10 women released from prison being condemned to homelessness.

Parliamentarians, including the Minister for Prisons and Probation Alex Chalk MP heard direct testimony from women with lived experience of this crisis on the urgent need for Government action to prevent thousands of vulnerable women being released from prison to homelessness each year and being set up to fail.
