Restorative Justice and Sexual Harm hosted by DC Peace Team

Description

Hosted by  DC Peace Team

Restorative Justice, or "RJ," is a philosophy and set of practices that engage the community in building relationships and repairing harm through inclusive dialogue, deep understanding, and shared power. 

This session on Restorative Justice (RJ) and sexual harm will begin with a brief presentation on RJ principles, focusing on healing, accountability, and rebuilding trust. Participants will hear the story of a sexual harm survivor who engaged in a restorative process, highlighting its transformative potential. The session will conclude with a restorative circle, creating a safe space for participants to reflect on the complexities of addressing sexual harm and explore pathways toward healing and justice.

This training is provided by the DC Peace Team, which empowers ordinary civilians to increasingly serve their communities particularly as nonviolent peacekeepers, and by extension as peacemakers and peacebuilders. The DC Peace Team lives this mission by deploying unarmed civilian protection and accompaniment units, providing training in various nonviolent skills, and facilitating dialogues and restorative justice approaches.
