The transformative potential of transitional justice lies in challenging this binary distinction between egregious and everyday sexual violence. In doing so, the author questions other binaries which characterize the field and which are deeply gendered: public versus private, international versus national, civil-political versus socio-economic rights, and so on. The chapter assesses how these binaries were deployed in the international campaign for justice relating to sexual violence in detention committed by the Sri Lankan military during the island’s civil war. Drawing on the contrasting agenda of the local ‘Journey towards Justice’ campaign, it concludes that the possibility for transitional justice to challenge these binaries is locally informed - contingent and context specific - and undermined by excessive internationalization.
