Violence Through Different Lenses: How to design a justice system that does not inflict secondary victimisation

  • 20 September 2026
Shifting mindset, transforming practices, placing the survivor at the centre.
.
SHero Thailand, in collaboration with the Nitivajra Institute, under the Office of the Attorney General, and UN Women Asia and the Pacific, is committed to driving meaningful change within the criminal justice system through capacity-building for 36 public prosecutors and multidisciplinary professionals.

Under the framework of “Violence Through Different Lenses”, we have guided everyone on a four-day journey to reframe their thinking, transform their working methods, and harness the power of collaborative networks using Design Thinking and Systems Thinking. This endeavour aims to establish a standard of practice firmly rooted in a survivor-centred approach, explored through a series of thought-provoking and reflective activities—ranging from exploring diversity, acknowledging power dynamics, and deepening our understanding to overcome victim blaming; analysing the landscape of gender-based violence and gender bias embedded within every stage of the justice process; to elevating professional practice through a survivor-centred lens, deeply informed by a trauma-informed approach.

We would like to thank the Nitivajra Institute of the Office of the Attorney General for co-organising this training. We are also grateful to UN Women, under the PROTECT project funded by the European Union (European Union in Thailand), and to the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) for the support that made this training possible and enabled the development of educational tools and IEC materials used throughout the workshop. This collaboration has reaffirmed for SHero the value of initiatives like this one. It has also strengthened our belief that, as practitioners gradually change the “lens” through which they view gender-based violence, a Thai justice system that truly stands alongside survivors will no longer be just an ideal.
