Moreover, the role of women and youth in conflict has primarily been as victims in peace processes. The African Union Transitional justice policy seeks to encourage a more inclusive approach to conducting peace processes. There is therefore a need to better include women and youth in transitional justice processes. Therefore, this study seeks to answer the research question: “How does a restorative approach to transitional justice increase the inclusion and emancipation of women and youth in transitional justice processes?”en© 2022 University of Pretoria.
