Over the past two decades dealing with the past of violent conflict and repression has become a global norm. While in its initial stages many efforts to provide justice post-violence were gender-neutral — rendering them gender-blind — more recent practical yet also academic contributions challenge this assumption from a gender and/or feminist perspective. Against this backdrop the paper asks what kind of crimes are considered to be relevant in transitional justice processes and if and how redressing them bears the potential of contributing to wider social changes towards gender just societies. The paper focuses on truth commissions which, due to their specific set-up, have been successful in incorporating sexual and gender-based crimes since they are more inclined towards providing spaces for victims, thus potentially serving as a platform for women to come forward to report about abuses. It argues that there have been significant normative changes regarding the kind of crimes redressed in truth commissions, illustrating that rather than being fixed and permanent, what is considered to be right (or wrong) is changing over time.
