Abstract
This work seeks to explain why feminist theory has said transitional justice legal discourse has not
recognized the totality of harms women experience in the context of socio-political conflicts. To do
so, it analyzes three factors responsible for international law and the Western construction of the
female body as dualist and essentialist. Based on this analysis, it establishes that harms not usually
recognized by this legal discourse are considered “harms of secondary recognition,” since they do
not form part of the typical legal figures that precede the experience itself.
