Resource Summary

The voices of female Muslim prisoners are unheard in policy, communities and research. The purpose of this research is to bring those voices to the forefront and address the often-overlooked intersectionality of gender, ethnicity and faith.

Muslim Hands was supported by the Barrow Cadbury Trust, to carry out a 15-month research study. Data was gathered via interviews and focus groups in seven women’s prisons, with a total of 60 participants. This report uses empirical data from interviews and focus groups with female Muslims in prison to identify distinct needs and experiences as well as similarities to the general female prison population.
