The “emergence” of women in the crimes against humanity trials in Argentina

Main Article Content

Quimey Martinez Magarzo

Argentina has had a long and complex history of prosecuting those who carried out crimes against humanity in the last civil-military dictatorship, during which marches and countermarches took place. In each of its stages, women had a different role, and their voices emerged in different ways. Their specific suffering regarding sexual crimes in clandestine detention centres outlined a part of history that needs to be addressed in order to build a memory that accounts for gendered pain (and/or gender in pain), as well as the possibilities of its enunciation in criminal proceedings.
