Raising the Voices of Women Too Often Dismissed

Julia is the Director of Oregon Justice Resource Center’s (OJRC) Women’s Justice Project. She describes her work as “the very humbling privilege of assisting women who live in the margins of our society – incarcerated women, pregnant women struggling with drug addiction, and those who are houseless. By sharing their stories and her experience of assisting them, she helps to bring them into the light and let their voices be heard, encouraging others to recognize, rather than dismiss or disregard them.
