Negotiating gender role expectations
With United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325, the United Nations recognized the vital role that women play in promoting the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. Though there is much focus on women and peace in the architecture of the WPS agenda, its nature, composition, and focus points are often based on Global North considerations. This article aims to address that gap by contributing toward a holistic understanding of women mediator…
The Motherhood Experiences of Women Incarcerated at the Johannesburg Maximum Correctional Facility, in the Gauteng Province, South Africa
The percentage of female offenders who are single mothers of minor children is a growing concern among the total incarcerated population in South Africa and globally. This study aimed to explore how expectations about mothering manifest for incarcerated mothers who are physically separated from their children. The experience of motherhood was captured using face-to-face interviews with a guide of semi-structured questions with eight (8) incarcera…
Decolonised State-of-The-Art Review
Over the past decade there has been a significant number of State-of-the-Art review (SotA) journal articles published on various academic platforms, covering a myriad of topics. SotA reviews are up-to-date, in-depth evaluations of research that endeavour to summarise and critically analyse contemporary knowledge on a specific topic. Unfortunately, despite their prolific use in academia, researchers have noted an ad hoc approach to the SotA review…
“We’ve got a sisterhood …”
The empowering effect of higher education in a carceral environment is recognised globally as the most effective rehabilitative tool for reducing reoffence and promoting the reintegration of incarcerated individuals into society. While many researchers from the Global North have studied carceral education and accessibility, few of those studies have focused specifically on incarcerated women’s access to higher education. Even fewer have considere…

The Motherhood Penalty—Understanding the Gendered Role of Motherhood in the Life Histories of Incarcerated South African Women
The number of incarcerated women in South Africa has steadily increased over the last decade. However, as a minority in the carceral population of the country, their narratives are underrepresented. An emergent body of feminist, gender responsive research has found that motherhood is central to the narratives of incarcerated women. This study endeavored to document the life histories of 17 women who are incarcerated in the largest correctional ce…
The shadow pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the outbreak of Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Disease, or COVID-19, was officially declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). As its effects roll through societies and economies across the globe, women are expected to bear the heaviest impact. Unfortunately, despite gender-focused reporting on the consequences of the COVID-19 crisis, few government policies and public health efforts have explicitly addressed t…
Pathways and penalties
Despite the documented rise in the population of incarcerated women over recent decades, female offenders only represent about 5% of the total global incarcerated population. South Africa is no different – female offenders total less than 3% of the country’s incarcerated population, a populace that was previously counted as one of the ten largest correctional systems in the world. This small representation of women in the correctional system lead…
