Telling a Story for Why Justice Matters: People-Centered Justice as a Pathway to Better, More Accountable Governance

​This session will explore how research and data can be used to advance people-centered justice approaches—those which reorient justice systems to people’s lived experiences and needs. People-centered justice supports government accountability and inclusive access to rights and services. It can ensure governance is effective and efficient.  Understanding people’s justice needs through research and data collection helps governments and civil society organizations to develop solutions that work to resolve them and innovative new ways to address the challenges of building inclusive societies.

​​This discussion will bring together experts working at different levels to explore how evidence for people-centered justice can be generated, shared, and used to shape policies that respond to people’s needs, build sustained justice data systems, and support transparent, accountable, and inclusive societies.
