The pre-sale of Gabriela Slováková's book, "Criminal Women: Stories of Guilt, Punishment, and Second Chances," has just begun. You have the chance to purchase it with a 20% discount, until May 12th. And if you enter code YRR2026, you'll get free shipping.
The book addresses the important topic of prejudice, failure, and second chances, inviting readers to a deeper understanding of human destiniesthat often remain hidden behind prison walls. Open interviews about serving sentences and second chances form the core of the book.
In a series of interviews with women both during and after their sentences, Gabriela Slováková uncovers stories of darkness, naivety, and folly, but also of hope and the power of a helping hand. The book offers not only a glimpse into life behind bars but also insight into the workings of the Czech prison system and probation service.

Something went wrong! What now?
This is the theme of the upcoming 12th annual event, which will take place on June 10, 2027, once again in the beautiful surroundings of the Hvězda game reserve. Next year, we won't just be talking about when things go wrong. We want to work together to find the answer to the question of where and how a child or young person can find help when something has already happened, or when their situation starts to become complicated.
Punishment, problematic behavior, or a court decision does not have to be the end of the road. There are services, experts, and organizations that help teenagers and their loved ones manage the situation and find a way forward.
We would be very happy if you joined us. If you have an idea of how we could join forces, please write to us.

Breakfast with non-profit organizations and our new ambassador
Last Thursday, we met with non-profit organizations that work with children, young people, and families. Together with our new ambassador, actress and presenter Míša Maurerová, we introduced a new theme, but most importantly, we discussed how they and their clients can get involved with the Yellow Ribbon.
For clients, including the youngest ones, we want to continue offering free registration for the Yellow Ribbon Run. This way, they won't just be lining up as runners, but also as part of a shared campaign for a second chance for everyone who has made a mistake.
With the organizations that run with us or focus on similar topics, we will focus on these questions in the coming months:
- What do children and young people struggle with most often?
- Where can they find help today?
- What is missing in the system?
- How can we give their experience and voice a place within the Yellow Ribbon?
- How can our community show what can follow after a setback?
Do you work with children or young people? We would love for you to join us. Write to us at veronika.friebova@yrr.cz
