Transformative Justice

Transformative Justice (TJ) is an alternative approach to addressing harm and conflict that seeks to heal individuals and communities rather than focusing on punishment. Instead of relying on traditional legal systems, TJ emphasizes understanding the root causes of harm, engaging in dialogue, and fostering accountability through community-based solutions. It encourages collaborative problem-solving, promotes personal and community healing, and aims to transform the underlying social conditions that lead to conflict. By prioritizing restoration over retribution, Transformative Justice seeks to create a more equitable and supportive environment for all involved.
