Transitional justice includes truth-seeking, prosecutions, reparations, and reforms to prevent recurrence through legal, institutional, and societal change. It now extends beyond post-conflict contexts to address root causes of violence, systemic discrimination, and enduring structural inequalities.

1. Member States should adopt the expanded transitional justice framework, integrating accountability for all systemic rights violations into national justice mechanisms.
2. Mandate truth-telling and documentation of all forms of gender related violence and atrocities.
3. Implement transformative reparations that address systemic inequality, with full participation in design and implementation by all women and girls in their diversity.
4. Guarantee non-recurrence by reforming institutions, laws, and policies that perpetuate discrimination, exploitation, exclusion, erasure, and denial of development rights.

Transformative systems restructuring for all women’s and girls' lives requires dismantling discriminatory barriers and recognizing them as agents of change. This demands strengthening human rights-based governance and investing in gender-responsive institutions to ensure safe, equal access to justice and accountability.

1. Center all women’s voices, leadership, and lived experiences in policy, peacebuilding, climate, and economic decisions.
2. Implement intersectional, inclusive mechanisms to ensure equitable access to power, resources, and safety, and end structural violence.
3. Invest in reproductive autonomy and solidarity across movements, transforming institutions and conditions that perpetuate inequality.

Economic justice requires full, equal access to jobs, contracts, and opportunities for all women and girls to shape economic systems. Unequal access to justice reinforces inequalities through unpaid care, wage discrimination, property rights denial, and political exclusion.

1. Reform labor and property laws to eliminate discriminatory provisions and guarantee equal pay, safe workplaces, and women’s autonomous ownership of assets.
2. Expand publicly funded childcare, social protection, and legal aid services.
3. Implement the ILO Convention 190 on eliminating violence and harassment in the world of work.

Political justice ensures that all women and girls can fully and safely participate in governance through voting, holding office, decision-making,
and access to remedies. Addressing discriminatory and violent barriers requires monitoring, supportive laws, networks, and independent bodies.

1. Expand nationwide civic and legal literacy and voter-rights programs.
2. Establish and fund independent bodies to document, prevent, and prosecute violence.
3. Mandate gender-responsive electoral and political participation laws (quotas, parity, and enforcement).

Achieving cultural justice requires engaging men and boys as allies by offering healthy, positive models of masculinity and addressing the limiting pressures and stereotypes that limit them. We must counter rising digital misogyny, elevate constructive male role models, and advance strong laws that ensure shared power, equality, and real accountability for gender-based violence.

1. Require social media platforms to control digital abuses and content promoting gender-based violence.
2. Present men with alternative and positive role models and views to combat the normalization of misogyny.
3. Engage women and men in power to advocate for gender-based justice laws with significant and appropriate penalties.

Digital justice ensures all women and girls can safely access and benefit from digital technologies without discrimination. Achieving digital justice requires removing algorithmic bias, expanding affordable internet, strengthening laws on online harms, and enhancing digital literacy.

1. Enforce gender-responsive digital rights and safety laws, addressing online violence and algorithmic bias.
2. Ensure affordable internet and digital literacy programs for girls, rural women, and marginalized groups.
3. Require gender impact assessments in AI, data governance, and digital policy with clear accountability.
4. Cover online safety, equitable access, data rights, and algorithmic fairness.

The reconceptualization of justice promotes healing and the restoration of social ties, extending beyond the law. Reform requires translating statutory advances into improved lived realities, backed by community and individual commitment. Change in hearts, minds, and collective culture is vital for justice and gender equality.

1. Convene spaces to explore the impact of justice on women and girls, fostering unity and collaboration among stakeholders by minimizing competition and emphasizing moral principles.
2. Develop quantitative and qualitative indicators to measure shifts in cultural views and broader approaches to justice and gender equality.
3. Communicate grassroots narratives about social norms being refashioned toward just and equitable societies.

The UN80 Initiative provides an opportunity to address funding disparities and improve the efficiency of resources to safeguard gender equality programs. To maintain accountability across all 12 Critical Areas of the Beijing Platform, reforms must reinforce UN Women’s specialized institutional role rather than weaken it.
The liquidity issue has persisted for decades.

1. Member States must pay assessed contributions on time in full; states in arrears should forfeit budgetary influence, with public reporting on program impacts.
2. Improve UN internal governance to ensure contributions and funding are spent efficiently and responsibly.
3. UN Women’s mandate must be preserved and strengthened with assessed rather than voluntary funding.
