Abstract

This chapter develops the theoretical framework used to investigate the research question that guides this study by examining the theories behind why truth-telling has been believed to contribute to victim healing in post-conflict settings. Also depicted in this chapter is how voice may be a possible mechanism that can facilitate healing for victims of violence by enabling the creation of three possible pathways—empowerment, catharsis, and social acknowledgement—within the context of truth commission public hearings.

Although there may be a nuanced difference between the concepts of ‘empowerment’ and ‘restoring control’, I use them interchangeably.
