| South Africa has been in the forefront of countries that articulate gender rights as vital human rights. Therefore, it came as no surprise to many observers that when the Truth and Reconciliation Commission began hearings in 1996 to investigate human rights abuses during the apartheid era, women's stories were being neglected, and the country was getting a distorted view of the past. In response to pressure from women's organizations, the TRC held three all-women hearing in which women were encouraged to tell their won stories of human rights violations. This article highlights women's oppressions during the period of review (1960-1964), the TRC's handling of gender issues, and an assighment of the TRC's contribution toward the promotion of gender rights | |
