Restorative Justice is a transformative approach that holds immense potential in the realm of juvenile justice. The Restorative Justice Week 2023 on the theme ‘Restorative Practices for Young Adults’ seeks to explore the multifaceted aspects of employing restorative practices to address the unique challenges faced by young individuals within the justice system. The event spans four days, delving into theoretical foundations, practical applications, psychological insights, and rethinking preventive strategies.
The idea of Restorative Justice Week is inspired by the brilliant efforts of the European Forum of Restorative Justice (EFRJ). It is Accords International’s pride to share that for RJ Week 2023, it has collaborated with not just EFRJ, but also other esteemed organizations like DC Peace Team, USA; Counsel to Secure Justice, India; and Building a New Reality, USA.
