The coronial inquest into the passing of proud Gunditjmara, Dja Dja Wurrung, Wiradjuri and Yorta Yorta woman Veronica Nelson, who died in custody while on remand, found that Veronica’s death was preventable, and that Victoria’s bail laws are a ‘complete and unmitigated disaster’.

Smart Justice for Women strongly supports the calls of Veronica Nelson’s family for @VicGovAu to implement #PoccumsLaw, and acknowledges that its work must be informed by, and developed in partnership with, women with lived experience of the criminal legal system.

Spot on observations from Ariadna @ALHMPuertoRico. Lawyers tell people what their legal issue is, but people want communicate about needs. 🙌🏼 Legal problems are part of broader life problems. We’ve got to work on the whole messy problem, not just the legal bit. #LSCITCon
