Abstract

Hepatitis C is a significant issue for women in prison. the Women in Prison Advocacy Network (WIPAN) argues that addressing the issues of women in prison with hepatitis C requires an approach which acknowledges the gendered nature of this phenomenon and is responsive to the social and practical needs of women with hepatitis C, both within prison and after release.
