Discuss writing as a healing tool, in a personal context and in a context of sexual violence (3 points)
Writing is a potentially useful tool when victims are conflicted because of the pain and shame that they experience. Individuals can document their innermost thoughts and connect with a bigger network who offer support as they share ways to move forward. Furthermore, writing therapies help to facilitate self-expression, which is helpful as the victims of sexual violence may experience isolation and stigmatization.
2. Identify the differences between restorative and transformative justice and what distinguishes them both from criminal justice (3 points)
