Criminal Justice
In the last 25 years, the number of women and girls caught in the criminal justice system has skyrocketed. These women and girls struggle with substance abuse, mental illness, and histories of physical and sexual abuse at alarming rates. Few get the services they need, and many are further traumatized by the criminal justice system. The ACLU fights to ensure that the criminal justice system treats women and girls fairly, that it protects the health and safety of women in its custody, and that it facilitates their successful reentry into their communities.
