OBS

The Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies' hope is to challenge and gradually break down the negative stereotypes that exist about women who come into conflict with the law. National Elizabeth Fry Week is always the week preceding Mother's Day. The majority of women who come into conflict with the law are mothers. Most of them were the sole supporters of their families at the time they were incarcerated.

OBS

L'objectif de l'Association canadienne des sociétés Elizabeth Fry consiste à sensibiliser davantage le public sur la situation des femmes aux prises avec la justice. La semaine nationale Elizabeth Fry se déroule toujours la semaine précédant la Fête des mères. La majorité des femmes ayant des démêlés avec la justice sont mères, et elles sont souvent seules pour subvenir aux besoins de leur famille. Mères condamnées à la prison, enfants condamnés à la séparation. C'est pour attirer l'attention sur cette réalité que nous terminons la semaine Elizabeth Fry le jour de la Fête des mères.
