Local Organizing via S4JR Chapters

The role is voluntary and can be held individually or shared with other co-reps. State reps meet bi-monthly to plan and receive support.
Voices Campaign
We know that misperception is one of the biggest barriers to accessing Restorative and Transformative Justice. Together, we want to show the world that survivors DO want and need alternatives to the punitive system.

Global Resource Directory
Together, we are working on building a global directory with vetted resources that offer Restorative and/or Transformative Justice for sexual violence, intimate partner violence and/or human trafficking. Such a global resource does not yet exist and we are eager to host this via a platform that is interactive, accessible, survivor-led and free from jargon.
