Let’s Rethink Justice

We invite you to rethink justice in order to confront the wounds caused by state violence and to open a space for individual and collective healing.

Why Justice Matters

The search for justice continues for grave violations that have taken place across different periods in Turkey. By making visible these injustices protected by impunity, as well as the needs of those affected, we can begin to address the damage inflicted across generations. You can access our documentation, database, and publication work on different areas of violations here.

Rethinking Justice

Justice is not limited to punishment. Restorative approaches can also heal wounds and offer transformative pathways toward a more just future. Here you will find guiding resources and discussions on new approaches to the pursuit of justice.
