DOUBLE DISADVANTAGE
Tackling double disadvantage Words: Ghadah Alnasseri, Head of Policy and Public Affairs, Hibiscus Initiatives
On 31 January this year, a coalition of organisations* launched a 10-point action plan designed to tackle the persistent inequalities experienced by Black, Asian, minoritised, and migrant women in the criminal justice system. The aim of the plan is to improve outcomes and reduce the inequalities and discrimination faced by these groups. Developed through consultation with women with lived experience, as well as government officials and specialist organisations, the plan provides clear steps to making a real difference in the lives of some of the most marginalised women in our community.
