Accountability for gender crimes remains a critical challenge for most post-conflict societies.1
The pervasive violations that women experience during armed conflicts are rarely integrated

culture of impunity for gender crimes.2 This paper highlights the advocacy strategies and
activities implemented by FIDA-Uganda to engender transitional justice mechanisms in
northern Uganda in order to end impunity for gender crimes. (author’s abstract)
