The testimonies of victims of the sexual violence perpetrated by Argentine state terrorism still face obstacles to its acknowledgement. In this article I argue that, from an intersectional and contextualized feminist approach, it is possible to accommodate these denunciations and understand this violence as a specific, political and gender-based discipline. In this case, the treatment of gender as an analytical category and as performativity (Scott, Butler) enables us to see the subversion of normative mandates as activists yesterday and as witnesses of crimes against humanity today. By analyzing the epistemic injustice (Fricker, Medina) and reverse empiricism (Alcoff) affecting those who report sexual violence, particularly in the context of concentration camps, I present the multiple difficulties involved in the perception and attribution of credibility to the victims' stories. Finally, I suggest that these testimonies and memories deserve to be included in what Ciriza calls our situated feminist genealogies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
