CORAL-DIAZ, ANA MILENA. HARMS OF SECONDARY RECOGNITION IN THE CONTEXT OF SOCIOPOLITICAL CONFLICTS: THREE FACTORS FOR THEIR EXCLUSION FROM TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE LEGAL DISCOURSE. Novum Jus [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.2, pp.85-101.  Epub Aug 07, 2022. ISSN 1692-6013.  https://doi.org/10.14718/novumjus.2020.14.2.4.

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.

Keywords : transitional justice; international law; feminism; secondary recognition harms; primary recognition harms.
