At the end of the ten modules, you will have the tools and knowledge to design gender-sensitive policies and practices
for women offenders and prisoners and apply them in your professional role.

The Workbook includes:

• 10 modules, with clear learning objectives
• brainstorming to develop new ideas
• exercises to check your understanding
• case studies to help you apply international standards
• good practices to inspire new thinking and provide solutions
• additional resources to delve deeper into specific topics
• end-of-module quizzes to assess your understanding.

While the Workbook has been designed as a self-learning tool, it can also be used as part of group training sessions. It is designed for prison staff, policy‑makers, healthcare practitioners, representatives of intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations, and other interested stakeholders.
