"Ododo Wa" Community Dialogues YouTube: "Advocating for Justice and Reparations in Uganda" Video: This is an annotated YouTube video documenting a discussion panel in which Evelyn Amony, Grace Acan, and Isabelle Masson discuss the exhibit and advocating for justice and reparations in Uganda. The panel was held 24 October 2019 at the Moot Courtroom of Robson Hall, Faculty of Law building at the University of Manitoba

Defining Transitional Justice

As Professor Kjell Anderson explained in a panel at the University of Manitoba, transitional justice is used broadly to refer to the set of measures that take place and occur following gross human rights violations, such as the violence and war in Uganda, and the war involving the LRA.
This exhibition acknowledges that justice means different things to different people. As Grace explains in this panel, for many women survivors, justice can refer to having their immediate needs being addressed, as opposed to achieving legal justice.

The Public
Two important missions of the exhibit include (1) bringing it back to the affected communities and (2) sharing stories outwards to broader audiences.

The exhibit's impact is demonstrated by the comments and questions posed by its audience. Public responses to the exhibit show solidarity, and themes of belonging and overcoming hardship. Transitional justice for survivors of forced marriage and children born of war, the acknowledgement that designated spaces are needed for healing, and the recognition of the urgent need for reparations, all appear in public responses to the exhibit.

Three main areas are identified in panel discussions with audiences in Canada and Uganda. They are identified as follows:
1) Solidarity
2) Symbols of belonging
3) Moving forward

Follow the path through each theme below.
