Gendered Dynamics of Transitional Justice Mechanisms
Quick fact
The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was the first war crimes tribunal to prosecute sexual violence as a form of torture (1998), yet the majority of such crimes remain unprosecuted due to challenges of evidence and survivor reluctance.
Why this is interesting
Why do truth commissions often capture the full complexity of war for men but only stories of victimhood for women? And why, despite years of international trials, do women's experiences of conflict remain largely invisible?
