This report presents the findings of a survey on perceptions of truth, justice, reconciliation and healing in South Sudan. Over a six-month period from October 2014 to April 2015, the South Sudan Law Society (SSLS), in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), interviewed 1,525 individuals in 11 locations across six of the ten states of South Sudan and Abyei. The goal of the survey was to understand what the people of South Sudan think should be done to address the legacy of violence in the country. The survey also included a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) measure to assess how trauma and mental health issues affect people’s perceptions.
