Creative Arts in Women's Prisons
|
Bond Street Theatre has begun a new creative program in the Herat Women's Prison, Juvenile
Correction Center, Child Support Center, and the OMID Women's Shelter. The programs gives women a voice to speak out about the inequalities in the judicial practices within Afghanistan that unfairly imprison women. By introducing uplifting, self-expressive, theatrical and storytelling processes into the rehabilitative process for incarcerated women and children in prisons, the women gain the confidence, motivation, and life skills to ease reentry into society. This is first program of it's kind in Afghanistan. |
