Wartime rape is ubiquitous in contemporary conflicts.Its commission is deeply implicated in the gendered notions of a nation: a woman's body is constructed as a target in a conflict that involves different identity groups and as an object of protection within a nation.Addressing past wrongs in view of repairing relationships after human rights violations across the identity divide is an integral part of post-conflict recovery (Murphy, 2017, pp.22-23).The practice of transitional justice also has a "constitutive" effect on the building of the new democratic order and peace (Teitel, 2000).Post-conflict justice provides an opportunity for reordering gender relations within post-conflict nation building.This process requires the recognition of both a victim-and a gender-specific harm, such as wartime rape.However, the practice of transitional justice often perpetuates "transitional in justice" (Loyle & Davenport, 2016), of which gender injustice is a part.In this article, we bring the perspective of everyday nationalism to the feminist theorizing in the field of transitional justice and investigate gendered dimensions of post-conflict nation building.Our aim is to understand possibilities for achieving gender-just peace characterized by the transformation of gender relations, as well as their obstacles.Feminist scholarship has captured complex, contested, and ambiguous dynamics of shifting gender relations in conflict and post-conflict settings in the everyday domain.Despite increasing understanding of women's agency and its limits, the entrenchment of dominant hierarchical norms at the intersection of gender and the nation ------------------------------------
