The Centre de justice réparatrice (CSJR) creates spaces for expression, listening and sharing between people and / or groups who have been affected by situations of abuse and violence, whether judicial or non-judicial.
To do so,
It supports groups and people who have suffered or committed crimes of the same nature as well as members of the community who wish to engage in a process of restorative justice based on encounter and dialogue.
It supports people who have suffered abuse and individual or collective violence in their need to express themselves, to be recognized and repaired; as well as the authors in their process of accountability and redress.
It sensitizes the community, offers training and encourages its participation in restorative justice, with the aim of social peace.
The CSJR organizes restorative justice meetings in penitentiary and / or community settings. The meetings bring together people who have suffered or committed unrelated crimes, that is to say of the same nature but not linked to the same event. It is therefore about dialogue and not about mediation.
