Abstract
This work seeks to explain why feminist theory has said transitional justice legal discourse has notrecognized the totality of harms women experience in the context of socio-political conflicts.

Based on this analysis, it establishes that harms not usuallyrecognized by this legal discourse are considered “harms of secondary recognition,” since they donot form part of the typical legal figures that precede the experience itself.
