Del pasado al porvenir: justicia transicional y género desde la experiencia internacional

Abstract

This article aims to provide a critical view of transitional justice from a gender perspective. By reviewing different experiences around the world, an attempt is made to identify common experiences and learnings. There are three conclusions obtained from this exercise: 1) The challenges: The inequity and structural exclusion of women, before, during and after conflicts; and, to overcome the vision of victims of women, to apply a comprehensive perspective of a gender approach. 2) Lessons learned: the relevance of the specificity of each context, highlighting the condition and needs of women; and, the integrality of the four dimensions of transitional justice: truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-repetition. 3) The need to apply the gender approach to the agendas of transition to peace and democracy, as a condition for building a more peaceful and truly inclusive future.
