Abstract


This paper passed through what is transitional justice by various tentative of its meaning and highlighted the role of women in its process. As an essay, we focused on key factors underlying transitional justice components and drown attention to the role of women. The review of literature on women participation in transitional justice is the key method of data collection followed by a content analysis. Findings show that in all process of transitional justice, women appear in various roles such as advocates, witnesses, accomplices and agitators. Also, the successful reparations have to be designed in consultation with affected communities, particularly victims and women groups which can provide concrete remedies to them, promote reconciliation, and restore public trust. Women play a role of designer and planner because they are the decision makers in their organizations. Therefore, they are in good place for advocacy and can serve like bridges to the community.

Author Keywords: transitional justice, accountability, reparation, truth commissions, reconciliation and institutional reform.
