Seeing the role of transitional justice as an area of contestation,
this book focuses on the principle of equality guaranteed in the
access to transitional justice mechanisms. By raising women's
experiences in dealing with the law and policies as well as the
implications of community and family practices during post-conflict
situations, the book shows how these mechanisms may have been
implemented mechanically, without considering the different
intersections of discrimination, the public and private divides
that exist in the local context or the stereotypes and values of
international and national actors. The book argues that without
unpacking the barriers in the administration of transitional
justice, the different mechanisms that are implemented in a
post-conflict situation may set a higher threshold for the
participation of women. Moreover, by taking into account women's
perceptions of justice, it further argues that scholars have paid
insufficient attention to the welfare structures that are produced
after a conflict, particularly the pensions of veterans. Going
beyond the focus on sexual violence, a relationship between the
violations and post-conflict economic justice may have longer-term
consequences for women since it perpetuates their inequality and
lack of recognition in times of peace. The use of transitional
justice may thus exacerbate the invisibility of and discrimination
against certain sections of the population. Inspired by the work of
Hannah Arendt and based on extensive field research in Timor-Leste,
the book has larger implications for the overarching debate on the
social consequences of transitional justice.
