Join us for Women, Systems, and Power: The Carceral System. We along with Violence Prevention Institute at Tulane and Mary Amelia Women's Center (MAC) are hosting a four-part series exploring how women's health, lives, and communities are shaped by the carceral system (the system which includes prisons and jails, as well as the policies and practices that shape them).

The carceral system shapes health through incarceration, child protective services, policing, and surveillance. In this series, impacted women, community leaders, advocates, researchers, artists, and practitioners will unpack how the carceral system affects women.
