Grateful for RI’s recent staff retreat, where we reflected on our journey since 2023, shared lessons, and reconnected as a team. We begin the year with clearer priorities and a renewed purpose to continue advancing justice, human rights, and democracy. #ReformInitiatives #Justice #HumanRights

Today is #DemocracyDay. Democracy thrives on people’s voices, choices & participation — but faces disinformation, shrinking civic space & inequalities. “From Voice to Action” is a call to protect rights, build trust & reimagine democracy that works for all. #VoiceToAction #ReformInitiatives

Earlier this week, we joined the Pan-African Parliament’s Consultation on the Draft Model Law on #GenderEquality & Equity in Africa. From #GBV & harmful practices to political representation, economic inclusion & digital equity, this process is key to closing gaps & advancing justice.

Yesterday, the world marked the International Day for People of #AfricanDescent. This is more than a day; it’s a continuation of the struggle for truth, justice & reparations. At RI, we are anchored on the 5Rs: Reconnection, Re-education, Repair, Resistance & Rebuilding. #ReparatoryJustice #Equity

#EnforcedDisappearance silences dissent, scars families, and erodes trust in society. On this international day, we honour victims by demanding truth, reparations, justice, & reforms for lasting cohesion Silence is the weapon. Disappearance the crime. Remembrance our resistance. #HumanRights

Today, we mark the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade & Its Abolition. We honour millions stolen & dehumanised. At Reform Initiatives, we commit to reparatory justice through the 5Rs: reconnection, re-education, repair, resistance & rebuilding. #RememberSlaveryDay
