Pact's AGM & Conference - Women's Experience in the Justice System

On 3rd July 2019 we were delighted to hold our Annual General Meeting (AGM) and conference at the University of East London's Stratford Square Campus. 

This year, our AGM was followed by a conference which was completely women-led, with women's voices only, discussing the issues that impact women in the criminal justice system. Guests had the chance to hear from leading experts in the field as well as directly from women who have lived experience of the criminal justice system, from arrest and trial to imprisonment and resettlement.
