     Pauline Campbell remained undeterred and continued to hold peaceful
     demonstrations outside women's prisons. A tireless crusader against
     prison deaths.

     Speakers to include:
     Friends, those who campaigned alongside Pauline about deaths of
     women in prison, and politicians. There will also be an opportunity
     for those who knew Pauline or who have lost loved ones in women’s
     prisons to speak out.

     Pauline was committed not just to campaigning but also to supporting
     bereaved families. Pauline was one of a number of bereaved parents
     who turned their own personal loss into a collective response to
     injustice and state neglect. The need for this campaigning work to
     continue is demonstrated by the fact that since the death of
     Pauline's daughter another 41 women have taken their own lives in
     prison.

     Julie Bindel pays tribute to a woman who was driven by a passion for
     justice:
