Application: Training on Gender Violence and Restorative Justice

Nepal Forum for Restorative Justice and Nagarik Aawaz are organizing a three-day training on “Addressing Gender and Family Violence through Restorative Justice” from 29-31 May, 2019 in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Training goals: 

This training will be focussed on ways to address gender and family violence using a restorative justice lens. Gender violence is a growing concern these days and when ‘settlement-oriented’ approaches have not significantly helped change this problem, restorative justice offers a huge potential in addressing the causes and consequences of the violence. The needs for healing, empowerment, and accountability are best addressed by restorative justice, if done properly. With this training, we want to develop a deeper understanding of this violence and equip ourselves with the necessary insights and skills that can help us facilitate in such events of violence.
