Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies

The Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies (CAEFS) is a national organization dedicated to advocating for justice and fair treatment for women, youth, and marginalized groups within the criminal justice system. Named after Elizabeth Fry, a pioneer in advocating for women in prison, CAEFS works to promote policies that improve conditions, support rehabilitation, and address root causes of crime such as social inequality. They also provide community programs, research, and policy recommendations to ensure a more humane and equitable justice system that recognizes the unique needs of women and vulnerable populations.
