Including Women and Victims of Gender-Based Violence in Transitional Justice Processes

This project works with women and other surviors of gender-based violence in Nepal, Sri Lanka, Syria and Tunisia to strengthen their ability to effectively engage in transitional justice measures. The project also aims to ensure that states and state institutions take a gendered approach in the planning, designing and implementing of transitional justice measures. The project also works to undertake international outreach to enhance and build norms around the gendered dimensions of human rights violations and transitional justice. Project activities include: (1) conducting preparatory meetings, such as gender and transitional justice sessions, with survivors; (2) capacity building with women’s groups; and (3) producing reports and newsletters on the outcomes.
