Women and Remand in Canada: Opportunities for Equitable and Effective Criminal Justice Reforms

This fact sheet is part of a broader project reviewing existing research on women’s experiences with bail and remand in Canada. Our literature review identified significant gaps in data and research related to women’s experiences with pre-trial detention. These gaps highlight the need for further study into the systemic barriers and gendered impacts women face within the bail and remand systems, to support the development of gender-responsive policy responses. As part of this work, we also published an annotated bibliography summarizing key Canadian research findings. This builds on our work with the ICCLR on the rights of women and children whose parents are involved in the justice system.
