One Small Thing
One Small Thing’s vision is a justice system that can recognise, understand, and respond to trauma. Our mission is to redesign the justice system for women and their children. We want a compassionate system that recognises the vicious cycle of trauma and disadvantage at the root of justice involvement and allows people to recover from trauma and thrive. Our core focus is on women and their children because of the additional discrimination and disadvantage they face. How: Redesign the way the justice system responds to women and their children in a way that can be replicated and scaled nationally. Educate people within the justice system on the impact of trauma, and draw on our knowledge and expertise to help build capacity within organisations. Influence politicians and policy makers to encourage culture change across the justice system and the people who work within it.
