Editor (2008). Reparations for Sexual and Reproductive Violence: Prospects for Achieving Gender Justice in Guatemala and Peru The International Journal of Transitional Justice, Vol. 2,192–213

Sexual and reproductive violence (SRV) perpetrated against women during war or under authoritarian regimes is one of the most severe manifestations of gender-based violence. The authors ask how governments in new or reforming democracies hope to repair SRV and how state programs for reparation might be conceptualized and delivered. By examining the cases of Guatemala and Peru, they explore the problematic of repairing damage caused by SRV and comment on prospects for redress to victims in each country. (Authors Abstract)
