Women Flip the Script

'Women Flip the Script' is different.

Women Flip the Script is a brand new combination of audio and written material created in collaboration between:

  • Women with experience of the criminal justice system
  • The Prison Advice and Care Trust
  • Women in Prison
  • Advance, and
  • Wanda Canton.

It's an exciting resource for women living in the community who have had some interaction with the criminal justice system, combining personal testimonies with practical tips, advice and peer support. All of the audio was recorded by women on their mobile phones, capturing moments as they happened - with no script and no rehearsals.

The women we worked with identified four key themes, each of which is addressed in an episode of Women Flip the Script. There is also a bonus fifth episode which includes stories shared by women. Each episode is available to listen to as a podcast, or read as a transcript.

To order printed copies of the transcripts, or if you have any problems with listening or downloading any of the files, please get in touch with us on [email protected].
