WHAT
WE DO
OUR SERVICES.
Advocacy for Safety & Dignity
When policy and procedure are created that cause incarcerated women's human rights to be infringed upon, we prioritize these issues, because we remember the hopelessness and darkness that looms over us when we are silenced. Restoring lost voices and standing firmly for what is good and right and true is the foundation that WIIW is built on.
Reentry Support
Transitioning from prison to the free world can be a stressful and retraumatizing experience, but it does not have to be. We provide one-on-one mentoring, peer support, employment preparation, and education with a focus on tech literacy for women re-entering society, some after years. We also act as a resource hub to connect women to dignified resources and other re-entry services that best fit their needs.
Self-Care Postcards
The Self-Care Postcards program aims to provide valuable skills and tips to our sisters facing the challenges of incarceration. We offer these postcards at no cost to our incarcerated sisters, covering topics such as Grounding Techniques, Positive Self-Talk, Boundaries, and more. A set of 50 postcards, including postage, costs $45. If you'd like to support this program, you can do so here.
The W.A.Y. Newsletter
W.A.Y. stands for We Are You. We understand the struggles our sisters face because we have been in their shoes. This small publication serves as our support for them on their healing journey; it’s our heartfelt message to them.
The W.A.Y. is provided free of charge to our incarcerated sisters. To download a copy of The W.A.Y., click here. Printing 100 newsletters costs $124. If you would like to contribute to our printing expenses, you can do so here.
SUPPORT OUR WORK.
The safety & dignity of incarcerated women must be prioritized!
At Woman II Woman, we understand the struggles of being formerly incarcerated and the ongoing journey of recovery to maintain our mental health. We empathize deeply with our sisters still inside, as a part of us remains with. We believe it is crucial to prioritize their needs, as the injustices they face reflect what we may encounter in the outside world if we do not advocate for those society often overlooks. Once a woman enters the prison system, she can feel forgotten, but we are determined to change that. Every individual possesses the potential for redemption and growth, and everyone deserves to serve their time in a rehabilitative environment. We are committed to fostering positive change while also working on our own personal growth, recognizing that this is a lifelong journey.
