Series of Places of Detention Assessment Reports (02)
gree with the international standards for the detention of women with
a compliance rate of 2.4. Detained women are placed in separate sections away from men, and the women’s section is headed by a female
staff member. It is forbidden to search women by male employees, and
infants are allowed to stay with their mothers. All women’s sanitary
items are provided regularly, and pregnant detainees give birth in civilian hospitals. Physical contact between detained mothers and their
children is allowed during visits. However, the CRC does not have a
women’s clinic that is separate from the general medicine clinic, nor
is there a female doctor for this purpose. There is no nursery to take
care of children accompanying their detained mothers. In addition, vocational training programs for female inmates, if any, are limited to
traditional women’s professions. There is also weak coordination and
networking with civil and community institutions for the rehabilitation
of women before their release and training them to take care of themselves after their release. Reception and accommodation facilities are
not adequate for the needs of women with disabilities.
