Book description

Reparation programs seeking to provide for victims of gross and systematic human rights violations are becoming an increasingly frequent feature of transitional and post-conflict processes. Given that women represent a very large proportion of the victims of these conflicts and authoritarianism, it makes sense to examine whether reparation programs can be designed to redress women more fairly and efficiently and seek to subvert gender hierarchies that often antecede the conflict. Focusing on themes such as reparations for victims of sexual and reproductive violence, reparations for children and other family members, as well as gendered understandings of monetary, symbolic, and collective reparations, this text gathers information about how past or existing reparation projects dealt with gender issues, identifies best practices to the extent possible, and articulates innovative approaches and guidelines to the integration of a gender perspective in the design and implementation of reparations for victims of human rights violations.

Reviews

Review of the hardback:'… one of the greatest assets of the publication under review is the use of case studies and the richness and variety of good (and bad) practice examines. The unique and clear perspective adopted by all the contributors makes the volume a contribution to this field and an essential tool for those who work in this area. Therefore this collective work must be warmly welcomed, and it is to be hope that it will provide guidance to judges, practitioners, and policymakers.'
