When restorative justice feels like forced forgiveness

I was sexually assaulted by someone in our activist community and they want to handle it through restorative justice but I just want him gone and I feel like I'm being pressured to forgive.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The pressure to engage in community healing can become another form of silencing when survivors are expected to prioritize collective harmony over their own safety.
