The Alabama Women's Resource Network is closed as of December 31, 2011.

Even though our doors have closed, we remain hopeful that someday Alabamians will focus on reducing women's imprisonment by addressing the factors that most commonly lead women to prison, such as domestic violence and the barriers to women accessing emergency shelter or introducing documentation of abuse, lack of adequate defense counsel, Alabama's notoriously erroneous conspiracy laws, poverty, and substance use or abuse and lack of publicly-funded treatment services.

Our thanks to those who supported AWRN financially:

• Individual Alabamians, especially the families of persons in prison
• The Southern Center for Human Rights
• The Alabama Civil Justice Foundation
• Ms. Foundation
• Resist Inc.
