Interseccionalidad y políticaspúblicas: Una revisión del problema de las juventudes OSIGD en el Departamento de Guainía, Colombia.

Abstract

This document focuses on how intersectionality relates to the design of public policies, particularly regarding the challenges faced by youth with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities (SOGI). Special attention is given to peripheral contexts, often romantically referred to as “Deep Colombia,” which in reality reflect the historical patterns of territorial exclusion experienced in the department of Guainía. This research also emerges from the persistence of structural inequalities and serious institutional shortcomings that hinder the development of public policies capable of genuinely addressing the unique experiences of this population. The main objective is to explore the most relevant theoretical approaches related to these issues and examine how methodologies and empirical findings have evolved regarding intersectionality and its application in the analysis of public policies for SOGI youth. Regarding methodology, the study employed a qualitative and interpretive literature review. Document analysis was used as a key tool to organize and examine academic sources through analytical matrices and systematic review procedures. As the discussion develops, it becomes evident that power structures are directly linked to different forms of exclusion. At the same time, intersectionality emerges as a fundamental analytical framework for research involving these populations. However, the study identifies a limited incorporation of the intersectional theoretical approach in the design and implementation of policies aimed at SOGI youth. In summary, strengthening this perspective could contribute to a clearer understanding of the institutional capacities required at both the departmental and national levels, ensuring that inclusion moves beyond policy discourse and becomes a practical and effective reality.
