Abstract: This paper examins how women's experiences of conflict and transition differ to that of men because of inherent gendered power relations and that, as a result women's experiances of violance and need for justice have till recent times largly been ignored. It speaks of gender justice as the protection of human rights based on gender equality and explores two such tenets: the acknowledgement of and seeking justice for women's experiences of sexual violance in conflict situation; and the securing of increased increased experiences of women in policy.
