Can existing \u2018community-based alternatives\u2019 shift the stubborn use of prison for girls and women? More importantly, how do such approaches engage with the concept of \u2018justice\u2019 for women? This article opens by reflecting on the recent past.

In coming together in community, we are reminded of the radical roots of resistance to the criminalisation and punishment of girls and women.
