The report considers the multiple aspects of adopting a gender perspective in the conceptualization, design and implementation of national transitional justice strategies and mechanisms (including the processes of truth-seeking, accountability, reparation, guarantees of non-repetition and memorialization), in order to provide an adequate and comprehensive response with respect to women and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons who were victims of serious human rights violations, and to ensure their effective participation in those processes. The report concludes with recommendations that are addressed primarily to States but also to the United Nations.
