Invitation to a gathering: Re-imagine Justice: Sharing & Building Alternative Strategies to Address Gendered Violence

[Manavi Atri]

Dear all,

We invite you to a gathering on "Re-imagine Justice: Sharing & Building Alternative Strategies to Address Gendered Violence". 

Justice is frequently imagined to arrive via the police, courts, and punishment, despite many obstacles that legal systems present. Across communities in India, though, feminist activists and organisers have explored other ways to address the harms of violence by focusing on accountability, healing, and safety, and not relying solely on the law. This conversation is still new. How do we build on this work? What challenges come up? What could justice look like beyond the law, in the Indian context? These two parallel gatherings bring together practitioners, activists, scholars, and organisers who have been responding to violence in their communities. The goal is to share alternatives we are trying, reflect on what is difficult, and think through possibilities together. Through this conversation, our hope is to build a community of practice– a space where we can deepen our understanding and collectively support the growth of non-violent responses to violence.
