Community accountability and transformative justice is not just about the direct individuals involved. It is also about the community as a whole. A way to collectively address harms, give support and healing to victims/survivors, and a way to grow/learn and become better. It also isn’t about simply ‘punishing’ the offending person and, idk, forever casting them out and making them a pariah. Most recently these principles have been discussed/applied within communities of colour as a way to deal with these situations without calling the police or sending people to prison. I don’t care about punishment. I care about harassment stopping and the silence around it ending.
