We have a long history of providing a coordinated community response to women and girls, alongside our partners, as well as statutory, criminal justice, health, and social care services. We understand that women and girls are multi-faceted and therefore require a multi-faceted and holistic approach to support. As proud members of the National Women’s Justice Coalition , we look forward to advocating for the needs of women and girls in contact with the criminal justice system, promoting preventive and early interventions such as Diversion, as well as community solutions in women’s centres.

Notes
About Advance
-
- Advance’s vision is a world in which women and children lead safe, equal, violence-free lives so that they can flourish and actively contribute to society. The charity works with women who experience domestic abuse to be safe and take control of their lives, and women who have committed crime or are at risk of offending to break the cycle.
- As well as providing direct support, Advance works with statutory services, government agencies and other women’s charities to ensure a holistic approach to the issues these women face.
- Women must be referred to Advance, via statutory services or the charity’s self-referral scheme. For more information about who Advance is able to support, please visit Get help
- For facts and statistics about domestic abuse and women in the criminal justice system, as well as Advance’s work, please visit Our impact
