Education and Career Training of Women (Open)

Education and Career Training of Women in Prison (2001, No. 1)

The 27th Conference of GWI resolves that national federations and associations (NFAs):

  1. inquire into the opportunities available in their respective countries for women in prison to begin or continue their education and career training, including education in civil rights;
  2. inquire particularly into the comparative opportunities and facilities available to male prisoners and identify any practices which discriminate against women prisoners;
  3. lobby their respective governments to formulate policies and implement and monitor programmes to facilitate such educational opportunities; work with other NGOs to offer extra-curricular programmes for women prisoners provided that these do not relieve their governments of their duties to women under equal opportunity principles.
