IMPACT STORIES
We are honored to hear the important stories of survivors and their experiences.
Julio Zamora shares his experience as a victim offender dialogue participant.
From a survivor who participated in a VOD:
“The justice system pits survivors and offenders against each other, breeding anger, fear, and hate, but how can we learn from each other and understand each other if we are afraid of each other? Victim Offender Dialogues can bridge that gap, create broader understanding between survivors and offenders, and ultimately provide a level of healing for both parties that can’t be achieved any other way. That kind of resource should be shouted from the rooftops, not buried, only to be found by chance.”
