2025 Impact Report: The Women’s Prison Association

WPA is proud to share our 2024–2025 Impact Report, highlighting a year of measurable progress and meaningful support for women impacted by incarceration and injustice.

This past year, more than 500 women and gender-diverse people enrolled in our programs. None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our partners, supporters, and staff. Together, we are creating opportunities for the women we serve.
