Nasıl Bir Barış Süreci: Geçiş Dönemi Adaleti ve Toplumsal Cinsiyet

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, barış süreçlerinde başvurulan “geçiş dönemi adaleti” yaklaşımını kullanarak Türkiye’deki barış sürecine dair yeni bir tartışma alanı yaratmaktır. Geçiş dönemi adaleti, toplumsal cinsiyete duyarlı uygulamaları ve kadınların aktör olarak barış sürecine katılımını teşvik edici özelliği bakımından ele alınmaktadır. Kadınların sorunlarına duyarlı ve onların barış sürecine aktif katılımının sağlandığı örneklere yer verilerek toplumsal cinsiyete duyarlı bir geçiş dönemi adaleti mekanizmasının demokratik ve kapsayıcı toplumlar için rolü tartışılacaktır. Küresel sivil toplum aktörlerinin uygulamalarından bahsedilerek barış süreçlerinde yerel ve küresel aktörleri içeren anlayışın önemine değinilecektir. Bu bağlamda Barış İçin Kadın Girişimi’nin barışla ilgili talepleri ve çalışmalarına da yer verilecektir

How to Make Peace: Transitional Justice and Gender

Abstract

How to Make Peace: Transitional Justice and Gender This paper is written to bring the issue of “transitional justice” as a site of discussion for peace process in Turkey. Transitional justice as an approach towards peace supports women’s active participation in peace processes as well as develops an understanding that is responsive to women’s problems based on conflict and/or war situations. Based on the examples of gender-responsive transitional justice processes, transitional justice mechanisms are important for creating democratic and inclusive societies and peace processes. Global civil society is an important actor in showing that transitional justice has an understanding of the interconnectedness between local and global. In this context, the initiatives and demands by Women’s Initiative for Peace will be mentioned
