In 2004, the Quaker Council of European Affairs (QCEA), Brussels and the Quaker United
Nations Office, Geneva (QUNO – Geneva) embarked on a joint project to gather information
on women in prison. The role of QCEA was to gather data on the conditions of women in
prison in the member states of the Council of Europe. This report gives the results and
makes recommendations to the European institutions and their member states on ways in
which conditions for women in prison can be improved.
