About this listen
Today, Teresa Njoroge asks us to look beyond poverty and see the potential in women caught up in the criminal legal system.
Teresa is a former banker in Kenya who was imprisoned with her 3-month-old daughter. That traumatic experience transformed her understanding of justice and inspired her to found Clean Start Africa, an organisation that supports women and children impacted by incarceration.
Today, Teresa challenges the way society labels some women as criminals and explains how poverty contributes to incarceration.
