Around the world, nearly one million women are behind bars — and that number is rising. Often this is not for serious crimes, but because they are poor, because they’ve survived violence, or because the system failed them long before a conviction. Women Beyond Walls is a podcast that takes you beyond tired prison stereotypes to listen to real-life stories from incredible individuals: from women who have lived through incarceration, as well as from those reimagining what justice could look like.

<p>When we talk about ‘public safety,’ we rarely talk about what actually keeps people safe: strong communities, basic needs met, and systems that heal instead of harm. Senator Kim Pate is a lifelong advocate for criminal legal reform. She’s worked both on the frontlines with women inside Canadian prisons and in the Senate advancing policy change. Kim makes a clear case for shifting resources from punishment to community and building the supports that prevent criminalisation in the first place.</p><p><br></p><p>To learn more about some of the issues touched upon in this episode, visit <a href="http://www.womenbeyondwalls.org/kim" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.womenbeyondwalls.org/kim</a></p><p>Follow Women Beyond Walls:</p><p>On Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/womenbeyondwalls/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">instagram.com/womenbeyondwalls</a></p><p>On Linkedin: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/women-beyond-walls/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">linkedin.com/company/women-beyond-walls/</a></p><p>On BlueSky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:x4hfl72t7456bi2w2ocajb6c" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">bsky.app/profile/did:plc:x4hfl72t7456bi2w2ocajb6c</a></p>
