Justine Di Mayo is a Senior Program Manager at the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience. In this role, she supports ICSC members and local partners to lead locally driven and participatory approaches to truth-seeking, justice, and reconciliation in post-conflict settings. She also supports victim/survivor groups and professionals to transform sites of trauma into Sites of Conscience. At ICSC, Justine leads ICSC’s consulting with museums, historic sites and memory initiatives in Europe. 

Justine’s lifelong interest in truth, justice, and memory began with her grandmother’s personal account of their family’s migration—from Sicily to Tunisia to France—and with it, the realization that contested memories and truths often contradict one another, coexist uneasily, and shape the complex identities and interactions that define our societies. Driven by a deep commitment to justice, Justine joined the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience five years ago because it both acknowledges and makes space for this complexity while keeping the search for justice as its guiding compass. She believes that the ICSC’s global solidarity network holds extraordinary potential to foster collaboration across causes, challenge entrenched unequal systems, and cultivate the collective responsibility and courage to act.

Born and raised in France, Justine holds an MA in Political Science and Sociology and a BA in Literature from Sorbonne University. In 2010, she co-founded Act for the Disappeared (ACT), a Lebanese human rights organization and ICSC member that works to document cases of the missing and disappeared, provide MHPSS to their families, advocate for truth and justice, and foster reconciliation. After leading ACT for ten years, she joined the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience as a staff member.

In her free time, Justine cares for her three children and enjoys spending time in nature.
