Gender justice, truth and reconciliation processes and mechanisms

Gender justice and reconciliation (pdf 370kb)

This paper examines how women's experiences of conflict differ to men's and the reasons behind the lack of attention historically given to women's experiences of violence and needs for justice.

A range of issues are explored including:
- Gender and justice
- Sexual violence as a war crime
- Policy implications
- Gender and truth commissions

The paper also highlights recommendations on how gender issues on post-conflict justice and reconciliation processes can be better addressed.
