You cannot have healing without justice, and you cannot have justice without truth.

The State of Truth in the World Report is an assessment of civil society's access to truth through the lenses of memory, education and justice. The first report of its kind, written largely by local civil society actors with a diversity of lived experience and expertise, the publication offers holistic, survivor-centered analysis of the access to and protection of historical truths in 18 countries worldwide and through four thematic contexts.

“What we see in this report is that the ability to expose, address and prevent injustice is essential if communities are to move beyond trauma and effectively advocate for accountability and justice—and access to truth is core to those efforts.”
