Felicity has spoken at length about issues relating to women as witnesses, victims and jurists in justice systems, including on issues of career development. She is part of a Harvard research project to draft a Treaty on Violence Against Women and Girls and led a 4 -year project on women in prison where the reports were described as ‘The most important since Corston’.
