Handbook on Women and Imprisonment
The main focus of the Handbook is female prisoners and guidance on the components of a gender-sensitive approach to prison management, taking into account the typical background of female prisoners and their special needs as women in prison. In view of the significant rise in the rate of women’s imprisonment in many countries worldwide, the Handbook also provides an overview of measures that could be taken to reduce the female prison population.
