A Panel Event: Justice Beyond the Courtroom

A Panel Event: Justice Beyond the Courtroom

What does justice look like when the criminal legal system does not meet survivors' needs, or when seeking legal justice is not accessible, safe, or desired?

Join us for a panel discussion exploring the many ways survivors understand, seek, and experience justice beyond the courtroom, with particular attention to the experiences of racialized survivors. Together, we will examine how systemic racism, institutional barriers, intergenerational and generational trauma, and institutional mistrust can shape survivors' experiences of seeking support and accountability.

Panelists will reflect on alternative pathways to healing and justice, the role of community-based and culturally safe supports, and what meaningful institutional accountability looks like. The discussion will also consider how racism and other forms of oppression can affect relationships, community connections, and collective efforts to heal and thrive.

This conversation invites us to think critically about whose understanding of justice is recognized, what meaningful support and accountability require, and how institutions and communities can work toward more culturally responsive, anti-racist, and genuinely survivor-centred approaches to justice.

All are welcome to attend and engage in this important conversation.
