In this talk, Dr Adrija Dey will address how we can be better allies to survivors of Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) within institutions and, through the process of allyship, achieve wider structural and cultural transformations. Se will also speak about due process, accountability and ways in which the labour and burden that survivors face can be distributed within the community in a way that the survivors can focus on healing and finding justice in their own ways and in their own terms.
