This essay surveys feminist scholarship and praxis on transitional justice, examining its ongoing contribution to the conceptualization and design of transitional justsice mechanisms. It examines some of the gender implications of a specifically 'transitional' theory of justice, and concludes by proposing that feminist theory focus on how transitional justice debates help or hinder broader projects of securing material gains for women through transition, rather than trying to fit a feminist notion of justice within transitional justice frameworks.
