Abstract
ABSTRACT There is abundant criticism towards mainstream transitional justice (TJ) scholarship and practice. As an alternative, we propose an everyday transformative gender justice framework that brings socioeconomic, transformative gender, and the everyday to the centre of TJ. Using empirical data gathered in Colombia we make two arguments. First, women-led activism privileges an everyday, localised, transformative, and gender transformative understanding of TJ. Second, they interact with local, national, and international actors, which enhances their transformative potential to disrupt broader peace and justice circuits. Our findings suggest that part of the transformative potential of TJ lies in the work of localised emancipatory initiatives.
