Survivors of domestic or sexual violence can often feel excluded, confused, and revictimized by the criminal justice process. Restorative Justice empowers them to explain the impact the crime had on their life and seek answers about what happened.

In this short guide, we explore what the restorative process can look like for survivors of these crimes, and how it can be tailored to suit the individual’s needs. This should help organisations supporting survivors to see how transformative Restorative Justice can be.
