In recent years\, increased empirical att ention has revealed a number of gender-specific issues related to female o ffending. As such\, women convicted of sexual offenses require gender-info rmed assessment\, treatment\, and management practices. This workshop will present the details of the evidence that indicates the need for a gender- informed approach to the assessment and treatment of women who have sexual ly offended. It will also include a discussion of empirically supported tr eatment practices with women to understand how best to approach interventi ons with women convicted of sexual offenses. It will conclude with a revie w of special considerations for their management. As relevant\, a contrast with male-based information will be provided.\n\n \;\n\nSpeaker Bio:\ n\nFranca Cortoni received her doctorate in clinical and forensic psycholo gy from Queen’s University at Kingston\, Ontario\, Canada.
