We believe that multi-disciplinary approaches maximise the potential for positive impact in our work.
Our approach ensures that the collective expertise of Synergy’s team of lawyers, doctors, mental health and psychosocial support specialists (MHPSS) investigators, and human rights defenders is combined to provide the holistic responses necessary to ensure that survivors of human rights violations can access the resources they need to pursue justice and heal.
Synergy for Justice ensures that every aspect of its programming and operations considers the power dynamics and gender norms affecting each situation.
Synergy for Justice values equitable and collaborative relationships with our local partners and believes in the two-way exchange of information and learning. Synergy collaborates closely with local partners and stakeholders to assess needs on the ground and evaluate how Synergy can add value.
As a women-led, women-founded organisation, elevating women’s voices and integrating them into the leadership of families, organisations, and communities are foundational across all aspects of our organisation and work.
Synergy for Justice works with local actors to create organisations that can quickly change course to adjust to evolving realities. We deeply value nimble and responsive practices.
Synergy for Justice recognises that working in conflict areas with people who have experienced trauma and tragedy can present challenges that must be addressed through a trauma-informed lens. We are committed to using trauma-informed practices to bolster resilience and ensure our programmes do no harm.
Synergy also recognises the impact of working with individuals who have experienced trauma on support staff. We actively incorporate thoughtful practices that allow our team to reflect on their needs and implement self-care individually and collectively. These practices ensure our staff maintain the resilience necessary to thrive while working in challenging circumstances.
