The main focus is on the challenges faced by female inmates, including gender inequality, limited facilities, and specific health issues. Additionally, the article evaluates existing policies and programs, such as the ratification of international conventions and related legislation, as well as efforts to fulfill the specific rights of women in correctional facilities.
