The View magazine is the only platform by and for women in the  justice system. Every week we  look at the flaws in the current system and solutions that will make it better and fairer, through art, creativity, acknowledging trauma, legal reform, reporting and oversight.

 The View  examines the intersection of women let down by the agencies, the charities, the NGOs and the support systems meant to protect us, but which fail us.  Over 57% of women in prison have been victims of violence, Women who have been subjected to physical and mental abuse who end up trapped in the justice system. . Why is society letting so many  women down? 

We tell their stories and platform their art and words to bring a more human understanding to the issues  that affect so many women. The Rebel Justice podcast brings you people at the forefront of the changes in our society today,  people on the frontline of domestic abuse and justice services, women with conviction and lived experiences, the reporters, the campaigners, the advocates.
