Abstract: This study examines the crucial role that women play in transitional justice procedures, concentrating on South Sudan, a country that is still dealing with the effects of a protracted conflict. It explores how the involvement of women promotes inclusive discourse and reconciliation in addition to strengthening the legitimacy of justice systems. The study emphasises the transformative potential of women's voices in influencing justice outcomes by examining best practices, such as the implementation of gender-sensitive legal frameworks and the participation of women's groups in peace discussions. The significance of incorporating women's experiences and viewpoints in order to confront structural violence and advance lasting peace is highlighted by the lessons learnt from South Sudan. In order to guarantee that women's contributions are acknowledged and formalised in post-conflict recovery initiatives and to further sustainable development, this research promotes policy suggestions that give women's participation in transitional justice first priority.
