FIGJAM…

Formerly Incarcerated Justice Advocates (FIGJAM) Collective

• FIGJAM is a collective of formerly incarcerated women trans and gender diverse folks who live work and play across so called Victoria.

• FIGJAM members are incredible strong and passionate change makers.

• All members are survivors of violence in the community but also at the hands of the state (namely prisons and police).

• FIGJAM was founded – in the hope and dream of building a community of staunch advocates providing connection, support and stability to its members.

• FIGJAM are paid for the expertise and use their voices and experiences to change community attitudes and push through barriers of stigma and discrimination. They are invited regularly to consult, sit on focus groups, present at conferences, engage with and attend community events, influence policy reform, write submissions and participate in research creative arts activities, and a variety of different media engagements.
