GIJTR’s IMPACT
FROM THE GROUND UP
GIJTR-trained women collecting oral histories about people’s experiences of the Colombian conflict in marginalized communities.
GIJTR’s holistic and innovative approach to memorialization, as well as its mainstreaming of Mental Health and Psychosocial Services (MHPSS), complements formal transitional justice processes —which can only engage a limited number of survivors— by providing otherwise excluded survivors and affected communities with new and varied platforms to effectively advocate for new policies and practices that meet their post-conflict needs.

GIJTR programming equips survivors and affected communities with new skills and connections to achieve acknowledgment, accountability and justice, including reparations and memory laws. In this way, it ensures that the voices of those who were often previously excluded from transitional justice processes are not only amplified but profoundly influential.
