Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised by campaigners in Australia to help free Aboriginal women jailed for being unable to pay fines.
The women have been helped by more than 2,500 donors from Australia, New Zealand, the UK and other parts of the world.
Three women had their outstanding warrants cleared on Tuesday after the fundraiser paid off a total of about $6,600 in fines, Sisters Inside chief executive Debbie Kilroy told local news outlet PerthNow.
Experts note the law disproportionately affects indigenous Australians, as well as poor and vulnerable people.
Western Australia is the country’s only state that regularly jails people for unpaid fines, often on minor crimes.
The state government has said it plans reforms this year that will make it harder for this to happen.
In the meantime, campaigners have raised almost $200,000 (£110,000) since Saturday to pay for fines incurred by Aboriginal women.
A government report in 2016 noted that Aboriginal women were the most likely to be imprisoned for unpaid fines, due to high levels of disadvantage.
In 2014, a 22-year-old indigenous woman died in hospital after she was locked up in a regional police station over unpaid fines.
A coronial inquest into the death recommended keeping fine defaulters out of jail.
"These are cases of very poor Aboriginal women, mothers living on the streets, in shelters," Ms Kilroy told the BBC.
"They live below the poverty line so they can't afford to pay off a fine."
She said they had helped free one woman on Wednesday who had been serving a 12-day jail stint because she could not pay $2,300 in vehicle-related fines.
The woman had previously been living in her car, the campaigner said.
