Objectives |
This e-learning course provides participants with a general introduction to the field of transitional justice from the perspective of the need for accountability for women's specific experiences of harm during conflict. Legal as well as non-prosecutorial responses to women's experiences of harm (such as international criminal trials, truth commissions and reparations programmes) will be examined. Case studies from processes employed in post-conflict contexts such as Timor-Leste, Sierra Leone and Liberia will be used to illustrate the application of critical concepts of gender theory to the transitional justice field. |
