Due to unavoidable and unexpected circumstances, Todd Gray is unable to give the talk after the AGM today. Janet Few will step in and at 3pm her talk will be 'Fallen Women or Vulnerable Girls?'
This presentation outlines the background history of refuges for fallen women, many of which were set up in the Victorian period. With the aid of case studies, it examines the reasons why some women and girls found themselves in these institutions and the prevailing social attitudes that put them there. In the week of International Day of the Girl, this seems particularly appropriate.
