In my recent project, the primary focus was on addressing gender-based violence (GBV) to mitigate its occurrence and minimize its impact, particularly within the context of preventing incidents of GBV and sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA). This endeavor afforded me a deeper understanding of the intricate connections between GBV and various human rights violations, including sexual, civil, religious and other related rights. Consequently, I consider it beneficial to have dedicated time to delve into this subject matter and remain committed to furthering my knowledge in this field.

The work done by our homicide and senior investigators is exceptional, but there are often neglected aspects when it comes to officer-involved use of force incidents. These include perceptual distortion and human perception limitations. By exploring these topics more thoroughly, I have better understood these significant human factors, which I believe are essential in any comprehensive investigation. We can ensure a more comprehensive analysis by understanding the complexities of perceptual distortion and human limitations.

🔵 The phrase “transitional justice” is, perhaps, one of the most frequently used terms that is largely incomprehensible to people outside of the justice sector. Transitional justice work encompasses a wide range of activities aimed at furthering society’s ability to come to terms with the history and impacts of large-scale conflict, repression, and human rights violations. Transitional justice aims to provide recognition to victims, survivors, and families; to rebuild the trust of individuals in state institutions; to reinforce respect for human rights; and to promote the rule of law, all as critical steps towards reconciliation and the prevention of new violations.
