Realising rights: increasing ethnic minority women’s access to justice

1 in 3 women in prison is an ethnic minority woman
There is only 1 ethnic minority woman in the senior judiciary
1 in 4 ethnic minority women experience domestic violence in their lifetime

The Fawcett Society has launched a new report examining the experiences of ethnic minority women as workers, offenders and victims within the criminal justice system.

Realising Rights: increasing ethnic minority women’s access to justice examines how ethnic minority women fall through the gaps within a system that marginalises their needs and experiences and what can be done about it.
