The Women’s Prison Association founded the Women’s Advocacy Project (WAP) with the goal of developing a group of leaders equipped to craft solutions to the problems facing incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women. Guided by a three-month advocacy and leadership curriculum, the women in WAP work together to write letters to lawmakers and policy recommendations on issues of importance to them. The women may share their recommendations with policymakers, community members, and the media, and work with other community groups on a range of policy matters.
Started in 2003

Who is helped?

Women with criminal justice involvement who are interested in gaining advocacy and leadership development skills. Capacity: Approximately 10 women participate in each three-month cycle of the program.
