The Miranda Project

Quick Exit

The Miranda Project is an innovative, gender-specific program working with people who identify as female who are at risk of both domestic violence and criminal legal system involvement.

The Miranda Project assists vulnerable women attending court, on community orders or exiting prison. Miranda aims to halt the increase in the women’s prison population through the provision of genuine support and the development of alternative pathways within the community.

Run by women, for women, the Miranda Project was funded in 2017 by Women NSW. Working on both sides of the prison walls, Miranda has specialist workers including First Nations women, who provide holistic support including: casework, group activities, access to victims counselling and connections with other key services.

The heart of this project is helping women live lives free from the criminal legal system, and free from domestic and family violence.
