Women Transcending

Women Transcending (WT) focuses on the impact of the mass incarceration system on women and girls, emphasizing women's crucial roles in driving change within these systems.

About this Collection

Led by formerly incarcerated and directly-impacted women, WT strives to illuminate the factors leading women into the criminal justice system and raise awareness of the repercussions of punitive measures on individuals, families, and communities.

Empowering women to lead and effect change, WT seeks to reshape the current narrative on incarceration through projects like the Women Transcending Collective Leadership Institute, Oral History Research Project, public programming, and The Right/Write to Heal initiative in collaboration with the Center for Justice (CfJ) at Columbia University’s School of Social Work and VDay.
