Transitional Justice Consultation with Civil Society
What a long, but truly amazing day. I learned so much! Today we met with about 50 survivors of the war to discuss a transitional justice policy that will hopefully eventually be passed into law. We taught the policy to the people and then discussed what they thought about it and what needs to be changed. The whole point of this process is to make the policy more "victim-centered," or as I rather call it, "survivor-centered." I'm still organizing my thoughts about everything I learned and observed today. Instead of describing it all, I will post some of my pictures from the day. There's also a few at the end that were on my walk home from JRP.

Jen,
ReplyDeleteKeep writing! It sounds like you are in the thick of everything we studied in theory. I'm so proud of you. I wish I could be there seeing this in person. I just watched The Invisible Children so I am familiar with the LRA. Wow, just keep soaking this up. I hope the mosquitos get better. Julie G
