Restorative justice allows a victim to meet their abuser or an abuser who has committed the same acts. It can allow each person to begin the path to healing. Having both gone through the process, Mélanie, a survivor, and Martin, an offender, tell us about their experience.
If you are in a situation where you need help, you can contact Sexual Violence Helpline (1 888 933-9007) or the Center for Restorative Justice Services.
