I am very curious to see what Liberians will decide to do with the recommendations of their truth commission. Although the paper "Liberia’s Truth Commission Report: Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights in Transitional Justice" only addre…
Hi Anu,

Profile Information
- What motivated you (or your organization) to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?
- As a survivor of violence my personal experience and witness to violence mainly against women led me to work on Violence Against Women in South Africa for over 20 years.
