The Elizabeth Fry Society is best described as which of the following?

• A. A group supporting male athletes
• B. An advocacy group for property rights
• C. An advocacy group focusing on women and girls avoiding conflict with the law and knowing rights
• D. A society for veterans

Answer: (C)

Understanding advocacy groups that support women and girls in relation to the criminal justice system is what this item is about. The Elizabeth Fry Society is a Canadian nonprofit dedicated to women and girls who are dealing with the law. It works to help them know their rights, provides resources to avoid getting drawn into the justice system when possible, and advocates for policies and practices that reduce harm within the system. This focus on women and girls and on rights and prevention makes the description a perfect fit. The other descriptions point to groups with different missions—one for male athletes, one for property rights, and one for veterans—so they don’t match this organization’s purpose.
