Using the Manchester Women's Justice Collective as a point of reference and understanding, this session will explore the work of the collective and how we build understanding, knowledge and power at a community level. The aspiration is to create lasting structural change where justice is centred around meeting people's needs, rather than responding with punishment and surveillance.
