Enfold, Bengaluru is organising 3rd series of Community Gathering #RestorativeJusticeWeek- Listening for Justice Beyond Punishment on 19, 22 & 24 November 2023.
About Enfold
Enfold was started in 2001 (and registered as a trust in 2002) by Dr Shaibya Saldanha and Dr Sangeeta Saksena in response to the lack of discourse on sexuality, silence and apathy around gender based violence and child sexual abuse in India.
They saw the after effects of this in their day to day practice as gynaecologists. They began conducting sessions on gender equity, sexuality and personal safety education in schools (from grade 1 through 12) and colleges with the aim of creating safer spaces and preventing sexual and gender based violence against children and adults.
About the Event
Enfold Proactive Health Trust invites you to “Listening for Justice Beyond Punishment” – a 3-part series that will focus on exploring, experiencing and discussing approaches to justice that go beyond traditional punitive measures. This series will provide us the space to engage in dialogue related to justice, particularly focusing on restorative and transformative approaches.
What does justice beyond punishment look or feel like? How do we pivot towards practicing restorative justice? What are the skills we need? This space is for anyone seeking answers to similar questions. You’re welcome to join any or all of the 3 gatherings! All are free of cost.
Event details
Justice in Dialogue: A Restorative Circle Gathering
- What: The Restorative Circle is a process designed to foster open dialogue, empathy, and understanding. In this in-person gathering, we will experience sitting in a Circle together and engage in story-telling and reflecting around the theme of justice.
- When: Sunday, 19th November, 10:30 to 1pm IST
- Where: Enfold office, 22, 3rd Main Rd, Ashwini Layout, Ejipura, Bengaluru – 560047
Building Common Language: Unpacking Punitive, Restorative & Transformative Justice
- What: The discussion will delve into the various paradigms of justice, specifically focusing on punitive, restorative, and transformative justice approaches, to build a deeper understanding of these approaches and a common language around these terms.
The goal is to explore how each approach shapes our understanding of justice, accountability, and of how effectively they address harm and violence in our communities. The discussion also includes screening of a scene from a Tamil movie (with English subtitles), which will serve as a catalyst for deeper conversation.
Ultimately, and hopefully, we will leave with a more nuanced and informed perspective and a greater understanding of the complexities surrounding justice and how different approaches can impact individuals and communities. - When: Wednesday, 22nd November, 2pm to 5pm IST
- Where: Zoom
Building Connections: A Community Workshop on Practicing Restorative Conversations
- What: The workshop will provide a valuable opportunity for us to learn, reflect, and apply the principles of restorative justice in our everyday interactions. It will include prompts for self-reflection, the exploration of values and principles of restorative justice, and we will together practice the tools we need for more restorative interactions with each other.
- When: Friday, 24th November, 4pm – 6:30pm IST
- Where: Enfold office, 22, 3rd Main Rd, Ashwini Layout, Ejipura, Bengaluru – 560047
