Hundreds of women, trans and gender diverse people reach out to Flat Out for support each year.
Most are victim-survivors of family violence and trauma. Many are experiencing incarceration, homelessness, mental health and alcohol or other drug concerns. A disproportionate number are First Nations.
Most women entering prison are mothers. Children separated from their mothers by imprisonment are at much higher risk of being placed into state care and youth detention.
All are struggling against a criminal-legal system that prioritises punishment over support.

“Prisons do not disappear social problems, they disappear human beings. Homelessness, unemployment, drug addiction, mental illness, and illiteracy are only a few of the problems that disappear from public view when the human beings contending with them are relegated to cages.”
