Abstract
Nine months into the 2022 war in Ukraine, United Nations' investigators have already presented evidence that Russia committed war crimes and violations of international humanitarian law. Tens of thousands of atrocities are under investigation as possible war crimes, crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide, including evidence of torture, summary executions, detentions, forced deportations, and sexual violence. Many more will surely be documented before the conflict is over. Women trapped in conflict zones, women IDBs, and women refugees with children are especially vulnerable to gender-based violence, including conflict related sexual violence (CRSV) and trafficking. Together with international institutions, national governments, and local and global NGOs, Ukraine is actively documenting a range of atrocities, including gender specific violence and CRSV. This article discusses known rights violations thus far, and employs a gendered lens to explore possible transitional justice measures to provide accountability, redress and support for crimes that disproportionately affect women and girls.
