Australia: PhD Scholarship in Social and Global Transformation - "Seeking Change: Allowing Women to Raise their Young Children whilst in Prison SA"

Link here. Excerpt:

'In South Australia women are no longer able to care for their young children in prison, whereas other Australian state models show that it is in the best interest and wellbeing of the child and the mother/child relationship to allow young children to be cared for by their mothers.

The project focuses on the theme of Social and Global Transformation and in particular the question of individualisation, citizenship and human rights. It also examines the parenting needs of diverse groups of women including Indigenous women and teenage mothers. International organisations such as the Human Rights and EO Commissions have called attention to this social issue.
