In this episode of "All Things Conflict," Maria Arpa introduces a new series titled "Justice Redesigned," which explores the complexities of justice and social impact in today's world. Drawing on her 30 years of experience in social justice, Maria emphasizes the importance of fairness, equality, and respect, while acknowledging the challenges faced by individuals who feel voiceless and marginalized. The series will feature guests with lived experiences in the criminal justice system, experts in rehabilitation, legal professionals, and individuals affected by significant injustices like the Windrush scandal. Through these discussions, Maria aims to highlight the grassroots efforts being made to address systemic failures and inspire listeners to engage in meaningful change within their communities.
