Empowering positive
change in women.
We run a unique, early intervention program that supports women and non-binary people in contact with the legal system by matching them individually with a supportive mentor.
Get involved
WAM relies on volunteer mentors who utilise their own social capital and life experiences to empower women to create positive change in their lives.
Get support
WAM supports women and non-binary people facing criminal charges, at risk of offending or in contact with the legal system, and are identified as needing additional support to improve their outcomes.
“Our mission is to assist women in their early interaction with the justice system through the provision of a formal mentoring relationship. This will provide them with a pathway to develop and use positive life skills.”
