Abstract

Recognizing gender-based violence in truth commissions plays a significant role in confronting the injustices of the past. This research explores the puzzle of why some truth commissions more effectively address conflict-related sexual violence than others. The research draws insights by comparing the cases of Colombia and Sierra Leone, where strides have been made in ensuring the documentation of women’s experiences, and contrasting them with less successful examples from Guatemala and South Africa.
