Reparations (website)

Reparations is an attempt to make payments to people who have been affected by an injustice. This could be anything from people who were victims of slavery or human rights violations, to those affected by natural disasters. Reparations can come in the form of financial payments (like money) or physical items (like medical supplies or housing). Sometimes, governments pay out reparations to those they have wronged, while other times private organizations or individuals may donate money or other resources to help those in need. Additionally, some countries have special laws or policies that provide reparations to certain people or groups of people.
