This event is a crucial initiative aimed at addressing historical injustices and promoting socio-economic and cultural justice.

ADS 2025 seeks to integrate restorative justice into development frameworks and highlight the vital contributions of youth, women, and marginalized groups, fostering a shared collective memory and a unified vision of justice and equity.

All this is done in collaboration with key stakeholders, including Africans, Afro-descendants, and the international community at large, comprising state and non-state actors.

According to the UN, throughout the Series, participants will emphasize the exploration of the past, present, and future of reparations.

This ADS 2025 will focus on learning from history, addressing current challenges, and building a future of healing and justice.
