Description:
The Restorative Narratives Project: Healing through Justice for Black Victim-Survivors will provide trauma-informed, culturally grounded initiatives designed to strengthen healing, empowerment, and increased access to justice for Black Canadians who have experienced crime, discrimination, or systemic harm. Rooted in community knowledge and ancestral resilience, the project will establish culturally safe pathways to recovery by combining restorative practices with peer-based support, digital documentation, and community-led reflection. The project will situate justice not only as a legal outcome, but as a lived, relational and cultural process; one that restores balance, dignity and belonging for those historically marginalized in Canada’s justice system.
