On July 22nd and 23rd 2020 the Coalition for Just Reparations (C4JR) held a virtual strategic meeting to develop a C4JR two years strategy and action plan.
Supported by GIZ and colleagues from Civil Peace Services, C4JR members discussed reparations related topics in four working groups:
- Reparations and Women’s Rights / Draft Law on Survivors of sexual violence by ISIS
- Holistic rehabilitation services for survivors as a reparation measure
- Reparations and minority rights / non-sectarianism and equal citizenship
- Reform of Law No. 20
Deliberations within the working groups have been expedited through application of the “Reflecting on Peace Practice”, a tool designed to guide the development of new peacebuilding strategies, programs and projects.
A two year Strategy and Action plan based on the feedback of all participants will guide C4JR work in reaching its ultimate goal: enable survivors of ISIS conflict in Iraq realize their right to reparations.
