Quakers believe restorative justice processes can lead to transformative healing and harm-prevention
Canadian Friends Service Committee (Quakers) has three program committees that plan and deliver the program work of CFSC. They are:
- Quaker Aboriginal Affairs Committee (Indigenous Peoples’ rights)
- Quakers Fostering Justice (human rights, justice, peace)
- Quaker Peace and Sustainable Communities Committee (economy and ecology, human rights, peace)
Canadian Friends Service Committee’s work reflects the social concerns of Friends in Canada, including:
- educational initiatives on peace, environmental issues, restorative justice (including victim’s rights and prison abolition), human rights, Indigenous rights (a specific area of human rights), peace-building, international development, economic alternatives,campaigns and policy issues, and Quaker testimonies and witness;
- support of effective small-scale projects overseas and in Canada that help build sustainable communities as well as address Quaker concerns, such as peace in the Middle East and in Africa;
- public policy engagement with governmental and other decision-makers on issues of concern, such as international trade agreements, human rights, corporate responsibility, militarism and war, justice (i.e., crime) legislation, Indigenous rights.
Where concerns meet, CFSC works with other Quaker service agencies world wide and within the Canadian ecumenical social justice community (ex. Project Ploughshares, KAIROS, Church Council on Justice and Corrections).
