Document Summary
Reparations for sexual and reproductive violence: prospects for achieving gender justice in guatemala and peru. Sexual and reproductive violence is one of the most severe manifestations of gender based violence. Literature on retributive justice is based on the contention that mechanisms such as criminal tribunals or legal reforms are. 1990s, crimes such as rape during war were criminalized under international law essential for dismantling impunity and putting in place measures for the non-recurrence of human rights violations. Retributive justice focuses largely on what to do with individual perpetrators. Attention must be shifted to how, during moments of political transition, reparative justice policies and programs might assist victims and their communities and lay some groundwork required to transform authoritarian structures. Srv perpetrated by either state (police/military) or non state actors (guerrillas/paramilitary groups) undermines basic rights and a number of substantive economic, social and cultural human rights. Srv is a form of structural violence.
