| dc.description.abstract | The Central African Republic has been the scene for many years, even decades, of many conflicts and almost permanent political, social, and economic instability. During the most recent conflicts, in 2002/2003, and in 2012/2013 until today, women have been the first victims of Gender-Based Violence (GBV), understood in its broadest sense as also including violations of socio-economic and cultural rights of which they were the first targets or from which they suffered the most disproportionate consequences. This thesis proposes to assess whether the transitional justice mechanisms created in the Central African Republic can combat GBV by challenging the unequal gender norms and structures pre-existing the conflicts and, therefore, bring about a significant change in the life of women in the country. To do this, this thesis proposes to look at the concept of transformative justice to analyse what this concept means in theory and practice. In doing so, three different modes of justice will be successively studied: interactional justice, distributive justice, and normative justice from the perspective of a feminist analysis of transitional justice. | |
