Summary

Chapter 6 argues for the ‘centralizing’ of gender in transitional and transformative justice. Ní Aoláin states that the benefits of such interventions will always be muted if gendered social and political orders and related power relations are not challenged. To begin delivering on this agenda three things need to fundamentally changed rather than sustained during transitions: 1) The private/public divide. 2) Sexual ordering and patriarchy. 3) The connection between economic disadvantage and the social and political status of women. The chapter continues by arguing that ‘transforming men’ is a crucial way to engage one of the meta-structures which sustains violence in multiple societies. Throughout the chapter, the author draws on the lessons of radical feminist thought to warn that new approaches face the threat of ‘incorporatism,’ and of a new vocabulary of change simply resulting in the illusion of transformation without substance.
