When harm happens, how do we hold it within community? What does a survivor-centered justice process look like, and how might it support healing? What modules exist outside of carceral and punitive systems to address harm and support survivors? This conversation with activists, academics, and abolitionists discusses forgiveness and transformative justice after sexual harm at the personal and collective levels.
