FORUM: "Empathy and Action: Women and Girls in Carceral Settings." International Day of Women Judges 2024. Women judges contribute to the quality of decision-making and help to build trust in the judiciary. The fight against corruption and other crimes can only be successful if the judiciary is inclusive, diverse and offers different gender perspectives. This year, our focus is on the theme to reflect on the challenges faced by women within prison systems and to recognize the importance of empathy in understanding their experiences and the necessity of taking concrete actions to preserve their rights.As we celebrate the International Day of Women Judges, let us reaffirm our commitment to upholding the rights and dignity of all individuals, especially the most vulnerable among us. Through empathy, and proactive measures, women judges are spotlighting the needs of children with incarcerated mothers, ensuring that their voices are heard. Together, let us strive to build a world where every child has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their circumstances.
