This paper examines the case study of Sierra Leone and the relationship between justice and peace-building. It illustrates how, even with the new transitional justice mechanism used, the elements of peace-building which aim to address everyday structural violence and inequality, specifically with regard to gender, were excluded. Ultimately, this paper argues for a more integrated approach to justice, one which incorporates truth, accountability and peace-building, if all the needs of a post-conflict society are to be addressed.
