Our Projects

Managing Time

The project seeks to improve sexual violence responses by changing the way we gather survivor testimony and use evidence to document cases. In Kenya, an estimated 11 million women have sustained sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), yet few cases are prosecuted (DHS, 2014).

Surfacing Time

This project used participatory photography to surface and share stories about long histories of discrimination experienced by a historically marginalized community in North West Rwanda.

Trauma and Time

Humanitarian protection has increasingly involved interventions in the field of Mental Health. Much of this work follows a PTSD-informed approach, or is undergirded by the assumption that Mental Health is impacted by the experience of a time-limited and single catastrophic event; whether this is war, the COVID-19 pandemic, an assault, or natural disaster.

Language and Time

The Jordan case study tackled the issue of language and time by taking a multidisciplinary approach. We took recourse, in particular, to tools from history, philology, and ethnography in order to understand how language operates over time in constraining or otherwise liberating displaced people in the Levant.

Policy and Time

The Lebanon case “Policy and Time” of the Rights for Time Project explores how historical legacies, accumulated practices, and recurrent policy cycles have informed the crafting of Lebanon’s politics of reception towards refugees,

Reclaiming History through Story and memory

The Mandaeans, also called Sabaeans, are followers of one of the oldest monotheistic religions. Historically, they settled in the southern regions of Iraq and Iran, and speak Mandaean; an ethno-religious language descending from Aramaic.

Going Back through Memory Lane

The project provides a platform for training and therapy sessions specifically designed for women and children who have lost loved ones in the inter-territorial war. Within the broader context of Cameroon’s historical and political dynamics, the project highlights the grievances stemming from the forced merger of the southern Cameroons with French Cameroon in the 1960s.

Burning Time

The ‘’Burning Time’’ project aims to investigate the experiences of Palestinian individuals across different generations and locations, with a particular focus on trauma, recovery, waiting, and the concept of time.

When They Sung at Me, I Sang Back

AIMPO in Rwanda and Next Level Projects in England are embarking on a collaborative endeavor to transform recordings of the Batwa community’s songs into captivating visual art representations.

Children Born of War

In northern Uganda, Children Born of War (CBOW) are marginalized, and their experiences remain a taboo subject. The project, Film-in-Participatory Action Learning (F-PAL), aims to increase public knowledge and understanding of the challenges faced by CBOW in post-conflict societies.

Where did Home Go

The research, “Where did home go?” investigates the significant impact of the Palestine crisis, which stems from Israeli Occupation, internal Palestinian conflicts, and ongoing state of emergency, on Palestinian

Ethical Storytelling and Photography Fellowship 2023

Embrace the power of visuals and videos in storytelling! The Azadi Kenya-Ethical Storytelling project aims to create an ethical and accessible archive for survivors of trafficking, utilizing the power of visuals

Erasure of Memory

The arts commission, “Time and Trauma, Erasure of Memory”; delves into Jordan’s intricate history as a sanctuary for diverse communities that have often been uprooted and separated from their origins.

Youth Time Against Trauma (YTaT)

The research project, “Youth Time Against Trauma,”, aims to create awareness among disadvantaged youth and communities in Pakistan regarding the impact of complex trauma, particularly community and gender-based violence.

Pillars of Rectitude

The research project, “Pillars of Rectitude” seeks to reclaim the lost artistic contributions of two East African women artists and inspire a younger generation of female artists in the region. It aims to promote creative approaches to teaching and learning about the violent past, specifically addressing heritage loss resulting from patriarchal structures, colonial legacies, and political violence.

Learning from Gaza

The research project, “Learning from Gaza,” seeks to position the Palestine Trauma Centre (UK) [PTC-UK] as a grassroots leader in mental health programming by challenging culturally inappropriate frameworks imposed on vulnerable populations.

Ukrainians in Refuge

Many individuals have been and continue to be affected by the events in Ukraine. The situation calls for research on the integration and resettlement needs of displaced Ukrainians in order to gather knowledge which can help to improve infrastructure and to inform policy recommendations to enhance practical support for Ukrainian forced migrants.
