Resumen:
This submission is intended only as a starting point to aid the Commission in understanding how |
gender forms part of the truth and reconciliation process. We have explored some of the issues |
that need to be looked at further and we certainly do not believe that this is the final word on any |
aspect covered in the submission. We have drawn upon comparative literature in an endeavour |
to provide a framework within which to understand how gender has affected women's |
experience during the three decades that form the review period of the Truth and Reconciliation |
Commission. We have drawn upon the work of people who have written about their own or |
other people's experiences of human rights abuses. We have also interviewed a number of |
women whose experience we believed would be useful in helping us to draw out possible trends |
during the three decades which are the concern of the TRC. This framework will need to be |
further developed and refined as more evidence of this gendered experience becomes available |
in the course of the Commission's hearings. |
