herstory oregon is a platform for women to share experiences with the criminal justice system in oregon
We believe that everyone has a story to tell that is worth listening to and deserves to be shared with a wider audience. Yet, once women enter our criminal justice system, their voices are often silenced, with prosecutors, law enforcement, attorneys, politicians, advocates, the media, and others speaking for them and about them. HerStory Oregon offers an opportunity to women who want to speak out about their experiences to tell their truth to the community and to be part of changing the system for the better.
