In this episode, 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.
