Hallo,

Ich wollte euch eine kleine Zusammenfassung davon geben was wir beim letzten Berliner ca+tj Treffen gemacht haben, nämlich haben wir beschlossen die Accountability Principles von Cara zu übersetzen. Es sind insgesamt zehn und sie erklären was notwendig ist damit es überhaupt zu einem Accountability-Veränderungsprozess kommen kann.


Wir haben diese Übersetzung unter uns aufgeteilt aber das ist nur ein kleiner Teil von einem großen Zine (The Revolution starts at home, siehe hier http://www.incite-national.org/media/docs/0985_revolution-starts-at-home.pdf ab Seite 64 sind die Principles) in dem ganz viele Sachen über Community Accountability sind.

up-dates and up-and-coming

Up-dates and Up-and-coming :

The website is now up!

So now we can begin to gather ideas, resources, visions, and power together.

Wondering how to begin?  Try these…

-Write something about your experiences with how you and your community have responded to sexual violence in “Story and Experiences”.

-Curious about these concepts, “Community Accountability” and “Transformative Justice”?  One way to go deeper is by doing a translation of one of the texts linked or posted in “What is Transformative Justice and Community Accountability” into German (or another language), so we can stretch this body of knowledge far and wide.

-Email transformativejusticeinberlin@googlemail.com to join the mailing list.

be well

  • We work to build community accountability for sexual violence in Berlin. That means, developing community-wide co-ordinated responses to sexual violence that include : prevention education, survivor support, perpetrator accountability, and an overall commitment to anti-oppression.

    We use models of transformative justice, or a focus on collective transformation rather than individual guilt or punishment, to guide our response to perpetrators and communities which condone abuse and violence.

    We work in a wider network within Germany and Europe to spread these ideas, which were originally developed by people of color and queer communities in the U.S., and to develop our resources to make them a reality.
