THE WOMEN'S PLACE IN THE PEACE PROCESS IN COLOMBIA. DEBATE AND SILENCE

Abstract

This article deals with the tensions facing the women's movement within the framework of the Peace Process begun in the year 2012 between the Colombian government and the insurgency of the Armed Revolutionary Forces of Colombia -The People's Army (FARC-EP). lt analyses how the women's movement recognised the consequences of this conflict on the indigenous communities, afro-descendants and peasants, underlining the many forms in which the woman's body was transformed into war bounty. Based on this analysis, the movement recounts the marked effect of the androcentric account on the narration and memory of the war. These organisations have documented, with their own resources, the manner in which torture, rape and f emicide are part of the attack on f eminine bodies as a principal objective of the different participants armed to displace the population, to terrorise and discipline communities
