TISS hosts a free Global Forum on Undertrial Mothers and their Children this weekend
The Tata Institute of Social Sciences will host “Caregivers Under Trial: A Global Forum on Mothers Facing Detention and Their Children” on November 1 and 2. The two-day hybrid conference looks at children of undertrial mothers from arrest through incarceration, and at where they end up: prisons, prison nurseries, foster care and child-care institutions. Scholars, advocates, practitioners, policymakers and community groups from around the world will share research and discuss reforms that put children’s rights and well-being first. Participants can attend in person or on Zoom. Prayas-TISS is hosting with Children of Incarcerated Caregivers, convenor of the Global Prison Nursery Network.
